1987 saw the release of two films about Wall Street. [View all]

Well sort of. One of course was "Wall Street", which was kind of the dark side of capitalism.

The other I'm thinking of is "Baby Boom", which is about a corporate executive who abandons NYC for her own rural startup.

I doubt they were planned together. So was our culture just obsessed with finance?
