'Goodfellas' Meets 'The Big Short' in Margot Robbie's Near-Perfect Streaming Hit

Martin Scorsese has made so many movies set in the world of organized crime that it’s practically mandatory to single out those he’s made that don’t fit into that environment. Movies like Goodfellas, Casino, and The Irishman tell the stories of real criminals in the world of the mafia, often relating their ambitions, insecurities, and desires in the words of the actual people involved. In 2013, he veered away from that subject matter to direct The Wolf of Wall Street, using the template of his previous films to explore the world of white-collar crime. The titular wolf is Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio), an investment banker who runs a massive pump-and-dump scheme to effectively con investors out of their money, riding a wave of luxury that puts other Scorsese protagonists to shame.
