It all changes though when Peter Gibbons gets more careless in nature and basically stops caring — which all results in getting a huge promotion. All the bunch of friends chalk out a plan to overcome the situation.

Goodfellas, is also one of those good movies that deals with money, and many would argue so, but Casino is all about the evils of money. Set in the 70’s, the movie revolves around Ace Rothstein – Portrayed by DeNiro, a gambling genius with ties to the mob.

In this crime thriller movie, money is the root of all evil. Terry Benedict, played by Andy Garcia owns a chain of casinos in Vegas, and all he does is taking pleasure in destroying the competition in order to build his empire.

Are all the big guns of industry born to do it, or are they made? Will people resort to crime if pushed too far? What will happen if the rich and the poor switch places? These are the questions that two super-rich brothers ask each other, and to find out they chalk out a social experiment plan. They ruin the life of their successful commodities trader and bring a bum from the streets in to replace him. What follows in Trading Places is one of the most funny events ever captured realistically in a comedy film. Trading Places is all but a classic comedy, with great acting and a great plot.

Scarface (1983) – Crime Drama

This movie is more about drugs and lots of blood and gore in it.But what reflects more in this movie is the admirable skills and will of Al Pacino (Scarface) who is building an empire from the ground up. This is not one of those making money ethically movies, and I’m pretty sure he didn’t pay his taxes in this movie, but he did pay the price for it, sooner or later. This movie also puts a light on how to win friends and influence people, apart from just making money.

These are some of the best movies that puts a light on money, and from a different angle and viewpoints. Have any movie in your mind that is based on making money or its consequences? Do let know your thoughts and comments below.
