New York – The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

Though it’s set in New York, much of Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street was actually filmed in nearby New Jersey. The movie tells the true story of Jordan Belfort, a stockbroker who became one of the most famous (and infamous) figures on Wall Street thanks to his unscrupulous business practices.

Though Belfort’s story is set in the late 1980s and early 1990s, it still resonates with audiences today who are all too familiar with stories of greed and corruption on Wall Street. Thanks to its strong performances, sharp writing, and Scorsese’s masterful direction, The Wolf of Wall Street is one of the best films ever made about the culture of finance.
