The word "fuck" and its numerous conjugations are said between 5. In 1. 98. 7, Jordan Belfort procures a job as a Wall Street stockbroker for L.

F. Rothschild, employed under Mark Hanna, who quickly entices him with the sex- and drugs- fueled stockbroker culture and teaches him that a stockbroker's only job is to make money for himself. Jordan soon finds his career terminated following Black Monday and takes a job at a boiler room brokerage firm on Long Island that specializes in penny stocks. Thanks to his aggressive pitching style and the high commissions, Jordan makes a small fortune. Jordan befriends his neighbour, Donnie Azoff, and the two found their own company. They recruit several of Jordan's friends, whom Jordan trains in the art of the "hard sell".

The basic method of the firm is a pump and dump scam. To cloak this, Jordan gives the firm the respectable- sounding name of Stratton Oakmont. After an exposé in Forbes, hundreds of ambitious young financiers flock to his company. Jordan becomes immensely successful and slides into a decadent lifestyle full of prostitutes and drugs. He has an affair with a woman named Naomi Lapaglia.

When his wife finds out, they divorce, and he marries Naomi. Meanwhile, the SEC and the FBI begin investigating Stratton Oakmont. Jordan illegally makes $2. IPO of Steve Madden.

This brings him and his firm to the attention of the FBI. To hide his money, Jordan opens a Swiss bank account with corrupt banker Jean- Jacques Saurel in the name of Naomi's Aunt Emma, who is a British national and thus outside the reach of American authorities. He uses the wife and in- laws of his friend Brad Bodnick, who have European passports, to smuggle the cash into Switzerland. Donnie gets into a public brawl with Brad, and, while Donnie escapes, Brad is arrested. Jordan also learns from his private investigator that the FBI is wiretapping his phones. Fearing for his son, Jordan's father advises him to leave Stratton Oakmont and lie low while Jordan's lawyer negotiates a deal to keep him out of prison.

Jordan, however, cannot bear to quit and talks himself into staying in the middle of his farewell speech. Jordan, Donnie, and their wives are on a yacht trip to Italy when they learn that Aunt Emma has died of a heart attack. Jordan decides to travel to Switzerland immediately to settle the bank account. In order to bypass border controls, he forces his yacht captain to sail to Monaco, but the ship is capsized in a storm.

After their rescue, the plane sent to take them to Geneva is destroyed when a seagull flies into the engine. Jordan takes this as a sign from God and decides to sober up. Two years later, the FBI arrests Jordan because Saurel, arrested in Florida on an unrelated charge, has also informed on Jordan. Since the evidence against him is overwhelming, Jordan agrees to gather evidence on his colleagues in exchange for leniency. Fed up with Jordan's lifestyle, Naomi tells Jordan she is divorcing him and wants full custody of their children. Jordan loses his mind and tries to run off with Skylar in his car, but he ends up crashing in the driveway. The next morning, Jordan wears a wire to work but slips a note to Donnie warning him.

The FBI discovers the note, and Jordan is arrested for breaching his co- operation deal. The FBI raids and shuts down Stratton Oakmont. Despite this one breach, Jordan receives a reduced sentence for his testimony and serves three years in a minimum security prison. After his release, Jordan makes a living hosting seminars on sales technique.

Top 1. 00 Movies of All Time Hollywood's Favorites. Is it wrong to already declare this the No. After all, there are other movie lists.

Lots and lots of others. So many lists, you couldn't list them all. But this is the first to ask the entertainment industry itself to pick its choices for the best pictures ever made. In May, THR sent an online ballot all over town — to every studio, agency, publicity firm and production house on either side of the 4.

Not everybody was initially thrilled to participate."I reject the idea," Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan told THR. To me, it's the equivalent of having a party- size bag of Nacho Doritos, then being told to eat only five." In the end, though, he sent in his favorites (one of which is 1. Yojimbo), as did a total of 2,1. Fox chief Jim Gianopulos, Disney's Alan Horn, director Gary Ross, producer Frank Marshall, Warners' Sue Kroll, agent Robert Newman, attorney John Burke, filmmaker John Singleton and many more.

These are the results: the greatest movies ever made, according to Hollywood. There are some surprises here. It's a far more commercial list than the usual critics' picks. Who knew, for instance, that Back to the Future would get more love than Lawrence of Arabia? There also are shocking omissions — The 4. Blows, La Dolce Vita, The Gold Rush and dozens of other undeniably great films.

And there are interesting differences of opinion along professional divides: Directors, writers and agents all agreed on their choice for the greatest movie ever (hint: It rhymes with "Schmodfather"), while cinematographers chose 2. A Space Odyssey and entertainment lawyers, the big softies, picked The Shawshank Redemption. Whether you agree with their choices or not, there's lots to enjoy on these pages, from the reunion photographs to the whereabouts of famous props to THR critic Todd Mc. Carthy's own assessment of Hollywood's top pick. But keep in mind, movie lists aren't forever.
