Back in 2021, a group of rag-tag investors turned Wall Street upside down when they made GameStop, a dying company and relic of a pre-internet world, one of the world’s hottest companies, even appearing in the Fortune 500. Only a few years later, Hollywood decided to put this underdog story on the big screen with Craig Gillespie's Dumb Money. The film centers around Keith Gill, a YouTuber and financial analyst who persuades the popular subreddit r/WallStreetBets to band together and put the squeeze on a few hedge funds that had bet that GameStop shares would fail. After sinking nearly his entire life savings into the bid, Gill’s life blows up when his stock tip becomes a movement and the billionaires begin to fight back through any means necessary. Featuring a rich ensemble cast including Paul Dano, Pete Davidson, Vincent D’Onofrio, America Ferrera, Nick Offerman, Anthony Ramos, Sebastian Stan, Shailene Woodley, and Seth Rogen, this is surely a film you don't want to miss. For anybody who can’t wait to watch this incredible true story, here’s everything we know about how, when, and where you can watch this out-of-the-box biopic.

To help you out while you wait for your local theater to screen this outside-the-box biopic, check out these three other stories that delve into the seedy but always exciting world of investors, brokers, and Wall Street fat cats.

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) - Though it is often misinterpreted as a cool movie full of big-time stockbrokers, hookers, and mansions, this epic is actually a cleverly disguised indictment of Wall Street and the evils of capitalism. Directed by Martin Scorsese, The Wolf of Wall Street follows Jordan Belfort as he goes from a young stockbroker who wants to make a good life for himself and his wife to a power-hungry maniac running one of the most corrupt brokerage firms on Wall Street. Scorsese fans who miss his earlier gangster flicks can be happily surprised by how much this rise and fall resembles his earlier films like Goodfellas. Meanwhile, career-best performances from Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie, in her first big American film role, make this movie unforgettable.

The Big Short (2015) - In what has turned out to be one of the best movies about the effects of the 2008 financial crisis, director Adam McKay changed his reputation as the man who exclusively made Will Ferrell comedies like Anchorman and Step Brothers to someone who could also make funny but thoughtful awards vehicles. The Big Short tells the unlikely stories of several different people who each separately came to the conclusion that the housing market was going to crash. They do their best to reap the financial rewards from this tragedy but even when they try to sound the alarm, their colleagues and the public turn a blind eye. This movie is for anyone who wants to know how a global financial crisis happens.

Margin Call (2011) - Margin Call is an often times claustrophobic thriller that gives its audience an inside look at a bank preparing for the worst crisis in its history. Set over the course of 24 hours, Margin Call begins when a major unnamed investment bank begins firing its employees in droves. When a young investment banker receives information about an impending bankruptcy, he informs his company’s senior management, and they must contend with a wave of economic strife that is already on its way. Featuring an ensemble cast including Zachary Quinto, Jeremy Irons, and Demi Moore, this is a must-see.
