Red box has it. Interesting movie although I liked "too big to fail" a bit more

Eric Dale: I run risk management... it just doesn't seem like a natural place to start cutting.
================================================================

Sam Rogers: You are panicking.
John Tuld: If you're first out the door, that's not called panicking.

================================================================

John Tuld: "... It's all just the same thing over and over; we can't help ourselves. And you and I can't control it, or stop it, or even slow it. Or even ever-so-slightly alter it. We just react. And we make a lot money if we get it right. And we get left by the side of the side of the road if we get it wrong. And there have always been and there always will be the same percentage of winners and losers. Happy foxes and sad sacks. Fat cats and starving dogs in this world. Yeah, there may be more of us today than there's ever been. But the percentages-they stay exactly the same."

He was supposed to be the "bad guy" but that quote struck a chord with me.

I'm pretty sure it hasn't changed since the last time I watched it.

It's ok. Too philosophical and vague at times. The Brits (Paul Bettany and Jeremy Irons) do a better job of acting than the Americans. Kevin Spacey is ok in a rare non a-hole type of role. Sometimes I find myself spontaneously quoting Irons' character: "We are selling to willing buyers!"

Several nights ago I watched this movie on hulu. I was curious how closely this modeled the housing bubble of 08.

Found it interesting how they portrayed the characters and how these characters spent their money.
