Ok…just did a link to a bunch of songs about money on Wikipedia and it got us thinking about movies about money. All of us here at Geezeo are huge movie fans so we thought we would start to put together a list of some of the movies we like that base the plot around money. Once we have a good list we’ll do another post. One of my favorites is Trading Places. We’d love to hear about some of your favorites.

A few favorites of the top of mind:
1. the color of money - what would you do for money?
2. barbershop - what can deep pocket competitors do to your business and employees?
3. wall street - the ultimate “money is everything” movie…

Indecent Proposal - “A husband. A wife. A millionaire. A proposal”. If the husband and wife had been using Geezeo.com for all of their budgeting needs they wouldn’t have been in this predicament.

The Money Pit — how a fixer upper house sucks the money out of your bank account and your energy and your life.
Some oldies –
$ (Dollars) (bank employee sets out to steal 1.5 million)
Money from Home (comedy with Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin, mobsters and horse racing)
The Money Movers (Australian: 20 million dollars stolen from a counting house by security)
The Money Order (Alan Funt puts money out in conspicuous places and films people’s reactions.)
Money to Burn (comedy of conterfeiting with humourous larceny)
The Money Trap -(drama)
Classic — The Lavender Hill Mob — bank employee tries to steal an amored car filled with gold.
Any of the Oceans movies — original or remakes.
