Steve Carell always looks one movie away from a nervous breakdown

"Just don't f***ing dance." That part always hits a little harder.

I love how this movie moved effortlessly between comedy and overbearing tension.

The SEC girl climbing into bed with the Goldman guy, is just so perfect.

Steve Carrell and Ryan Gosling together in this movie= endless laughing.

Brad Pitt's character is awesome. Even knowing that he was going to make hundreds of millions of dollars in one fell swoop, he never lost sight of the fact that this was going to negatively impact hundreds of millions of people.

I went down a rabit hole of the big short clips. Shoulda just rewatched it, womp womp

We need a sequel. The Big Short - GameStop

Steve Carrell absolutely murdered this role, and should have gotten an oscar nomination

they need to teach economics and financial literacy in highschool and college it should be required knowledge. the history of money and government, opec etc. most people have no idea only follow tv and movies and fairy tales

That employee speaking to Dr. Burry at around 5:45 is seen near the end of the film stocking a convenience store fridge with Red Bull

I typically watch this movie every other year. The acting is fantastic, and it highlights (with wit, humor, and drama ) an extremely dark time in recent US history.

"banks will think your either high or having a stroke and will take every dime we have to offer" His performance in this movie was superb.

I learned more about banking and the economy from this movie than I had in all 13 years of school before that combined.

I love Brad Pitt's character in this film, he's a veteran of the financial world and he trying to instill wisdom to these younger guys. That last scene where he hammers home the reality of what it will mean if they're right about the market tanking is one such moment, that people make deals like this and make bank on them all the time and mostly without a conscious, he wants to make sure they keep theirs and know it's not something to be all happy about. At the end of the film when they cash out they ask him why he agreed to help him do all this in the first place since he seems to have so much discontent about it all, he replies with "You guys wanted to get rich, now your rich" It shows he wants them to fully understand the cost of it all, that their success came at the sacrifice of so many other people's livelihoods and futures. The epilogue states one of them got out of the business all together while the other never really did anything this ambitious again, so in the end he succeeded in teaching them that to get ahead in this business means selling your soul forgoing your morality. This is further hammered home by Ryan Gosling's speech in the end, he's one such person who sold his soul and his morals and has accepted who he's become.

The best part of the movie is how it captures "being right" in your analysis, but not yet (or at all) seeing the market respond to your opinion. Trends will last much longer in an irrational state than any logical person can rationalize. Brilliant book/movie. On par with Moneyball.

One of my favorite informative yet horrifying fact from the movie ".....every 1% unemployment means 40,000 people die..."

The part where brad Pitt tells them to stop dancing makes me cry every time. It’s the irony of it all. You know they will get rich, but at what cost. So many people will lose jobs, it takes me back to those days and seeing family and friends with no work and hard times. And here we are again, about to repeat it in 2021.

most stressful part of this entire movie was Charlie's barrel management and trigger discipline with a micro uzi LOL

This is a horror movie you can’t change my mind

99 Homes, The Big Short, and Margin Call are the perfect trilogy.

Mr. Pitt pretty much sums it up in the last scene of this clip. One of those scenes you take with you after you've just watched the film, one of those you remember.

It would be scary if this actually happened in real life. Oh wait....

My favorite part is when the two mortgage signers say that they're not getting a yacht without a bunch of strippers, someone quips "I think Warren buffet said something similar" and the mortgage signers go "who is that?"

The fact that he admits the possibility of being wrong is the strongest signal to an outsider that he isnt. Megalomaniacs dont consider failure as a possibility.

One of my favorite films of all time. So accurate that it should have won an Oscar for best documentary.

Pitt’s character in the film is older and grayer than the corresponding character in the book, but he absolutely knocks it out of the park. The entire cast is amazing. This movie has long been one of my favorites.

9:05 is the most important and powerful scene in this entire movie. Really brings the whole thing into perspective

I liked the last scene here, where Brad tells them not to dance. one of my favorite scenes and I'm not sure why

This is a pretty good movie. Even better if you know a little thing about economics too.

The irony of Michael Burry selling his positions in AIG, Countrywide, and Freddie Mac to cover the premiums. I'm thinking he must have sold those stocks at their all time highs.

when he says "No I didn't know that" it is one of the most convincing lines I have seen in film...genuinely looks terrified and shocked

The shot of the soldier at the machine is tragic.

Anybody else had no idea what's happening when they saw Steve's Carrel hand forming a zero but burst out laughing when he yelled "Zero, Zero, Zero"....Gosh Steve Carrell can make anybody laugh without even trying.

@4:00, "Hey, Dougie! He's at Goldman". Lots of despicable people in this film but she, being a regulator and not giving half a sh*t, might be one of the worst.

This movie is so well-made. "Mark, it's not Q&A"

I love this film. The writing, cast, directing... Above all, for me, the editing is astonishingly brilliant.

7:21 when the Jackpot machine goes off after he says to bet against the Double A tranches. Great touch.

It's so weird seeing these well known actors with really bad hairstyles for this movie.

GameStop making me rewatch this..

god, i've seen this movie... 6 times now i think? it's genuinely one of my favorite movies ever and i'm a bit sad it doesn't seem to be particularily popular

Best flick of 2015. Gosling is so totally amazing. I did not even once think of The Office while watching this. I don't know why it did not win best film - Spotlight was good too but it dragged. The Big Short was riveting.

This is one of the greatest movies ever made. Entertaining and informative. It is all there in the movie explicitly.

8:27 This whole scene automatically makes me think of an Oceans 11 movie lol. The music, along with the sounds of the Casino and the plot to make big money is like a Danny Ocean scheme.

Maybe the best movie of 2015

This is an awesome movie that provides insight on the US financial crisis back in 2006/2008.

The most underrated movie of all time

His frustration at 6:19 is so palpable and incredibly funny to me. Also: 7:39 Way to give your partner a compliment, Jaime.

If you don't understand Economics or the terminology it's understandable that it's not the film for you but don't dislike it because you don't understand, try to learn, rewatch the film and then see with the necessary knowledge you now have, if the film is what you like.

00:29 Mikey Palmice is wondering if the poison ivy still itches.

What do I gotta do to make Netflix bring back the Big Short?

I really recommend watching this and the 'Margin Call' which shows the darker side of the housing collapse.

This movie was awesome such great acting and i dont even know anything about business

Who’s here in 2022 waiting for it to all happen over again?

The gamestop version of this is, funnily, kind of the opposite. It's not a bunch of guys shorting something that seems indestructible. It's a bunch of hedgefunds shorting something that a bunch of redditors made indestructible. The title would be "The Big Squeeze". A perfect title for a, sort-of sequel.

Nebula floating her resume.

Cant wait to see the GameStop version of this

Those last lines literally made me cry

This is the best "based on true story" movie I have ever seen.

6:00 when he says the bonds arent going down is the same thing that AMC and GME arent going up right now because of fraud :O

3:04 They're literally wearing soundproof earcups and pretending to hear each other lol

The guy speaking at the podium got whacked in The Sopranos.

"those losses will be contained at 5%"

So many scenes hit so hard for me. Totally felt them on a deep level. The Burry scenes, Rickert scenes especially. The Baum and Vennet ones less so but still relate very much so.

Excellent sound reproduction on this. Better than the DVD I bought! Thank you.

one of the best scenes from this movie is earlier when goslings character saying “That’s a nice shirt, do they make it for men?” - the timing is just incredible

First 30 seconds and none of em can play it straight with Ryan, he genuinely cracks each one of them up....

This is one of the most important films I’ve ever seen. Criminally underrated.

Love the WAMU booth in the background. One of the banks that disappeared in the crash.

It’s crazy how interesting the Stock Market can be. I heard Netflix is working on something about the recent GameStop stock surge; I’m interested to see how it turns out.

That bald black guy was honestly one of the chillest dudes I've ever seen in cinema.

This movie is more important now than it ever has been with AMC and GME.

Just wait until the student loans start defaulting...

I'll never get bored of watching this movie over and over again

The movie downplayed the government’s role in creating the environment that allowed this to happen.

language about banking is too complicated for the average ign subscriber. Explains all of the dislikes.

One of My favorite movies of all time. Never gets old

"It's possible that we are in a completely fraudulent system" - was exactly that way and still is

Best line from the movie for me: 'If you can afford to make less, make less.' - Mark Baum.

Ryan gosling is like a chameleon in this film

0:36. Mikey Palmice 👀! Witness Protection Program?

People have very short memories

They bet against a improperly valued “asset”, and they were right. The didn’t make the market collapse, that was bound to happen. They simply put there money where there mouth was and scored big time.

"Could you please stop being such a buzz-kill, dude"? LOL! Imagine hiring a broker who calls you "dude"? :)

Mark took two really well timed calls in this movie that meant he could say his bit then just walk right out of the situation. Wish my phone rang at such crucial times.....

The end here in this 10 min clip was much needed

This is an amazingly brilliant film. Always makes me laugh. The acting is brilliant. 🙂

Damn i watched this movie 9 times but the clips still make me watch it voer and over again .

Loved how Brad Pitt got on them Dancing around and celebrating.

"Just don't f*ing dance."

The last scene is the truest one of all. Don't be happy for the outcome. Just be happy you took those morons money. Still unbelievable only one banker faced criminal charges.

Steve Carell was absolutely brilliant in this movie.

A love how gosling is 4th waling and the old guy behind him looks at him lol

2:38 Yeah these guys now have hearing loss

An absolutely terrific film , fantastic acting all round .

I can't get enough of this movie!

2:23 pointing the weapon sideways....yeah..he'd be immediately expelled from the range lol

Big Short part 2, here we come! Starring, once again, Michael Burry!

Funny and scariest thing is everyone knows someone who works in fiance that is a complete moron that shouldn't have anything to do with money or someone else's money.

Market meltdown happened again and I’m watching this movie now. Human will never learn from history.
