#23: The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

Adapted from Jordan Belfort’s memoir, The Wolf of Wall Street chronicles his rise from a stockbroker to a figure embroiled in securities fraud and corruption within his firm. While the film remains faithful to Belfort’s account, it has faced scrutiny from law enforcement regarding the accuracy of certain events depicted.

Despite controversies surrounding its portrayal of real-life events, the movie captivates audiences with its unapologetic depiction of excess, greed, and the dark underbelly of the financial world. It offers a compelling glimpse into Belfort’s tumultuous journey and the consequences of unchecked ambition.
