What are your favorite parts of Trading Places?

For me, it was on the train when Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy were singing.

Also, when Eddie got angry at his house party. ¨Who’s been putting out their coles on my floor?¨

You can also check Marging Call (7.1/10):

The train scene was hilarious and when Dan Akroyd was dressed as Santa Claus eating the ham through his beard after failing at setting up Murphy. But the whole movie was funny.

Probably people don’t want a film to be spoiled here. I sent a message to you, and maybe we can talk about it.

"Boiler Room" (2000) - This movie centers on a college dropout who gets a job as a broker for a suburban investment firm. He soon realizes that the job is not as legitimate as it seems.

FYI… ‘Boiler Room’ and ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ are both based on the same true story. ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ is from the point of view of the boss aka ‘The Wolf’ (Jordan Belfort) and is based on his autobiography of the same name that came out in 2008.

‘Boiler Room’ is based on the point of view of an up and coming stock broker who quickly starts to realize that something is seriously amiss at his new company. It was written long before Belfort’s autobiography ever came out and is simply based on interviews with people, court room accounts and all other public information that came out in the legal aftermath of the company.

‘Boiler Room’ is a little more about the personal Character played by Giovanni Ribisi and his relationship and attempts to get his dad’s approval…

‘The Wolf Of Wall Street’ is more about the name-sake character’s crazy exploits in the drug fuelled late eighties and early nineties…

Wow, I had no idea; thank you for the insight. However, the wolf of Wall Street is more exaggerated than the boiler room. Don’t you think so?
