Watching Wall Street...or, the end of it, on FX.
Just an awesome movie.

Michael Douglas gets so much credit for this movie, but I tell ya Martin Sheen's steely character really makes it for me.

1. I agree
I always did like Martin Sheen's character more. Very convincing as a union guy.

2. First runner-up: Hal Holbrook, the elder statesman at the firm.
Sort of a Greek tragedy character to remind all the hot shots that there is an ultimate price to pay for flying too close to the sun.

"When a man looks into the abyss and there is nothing staring back to him, at that moment a man finds his character. That is what keeps him out of the abyss."

3. Yeah, I was paying really close attention to him this time around,
too.

Just little bits of wisdom coming from him the whole movie.
