Inside Job: partially informative

I was a bit delayed in seeing this one, but it was definitely worth it.  Though it definitely has some personal biases flowing through the narration, it does a good job of breaking down a ridiculously convoluted process like the sub-prime mortgage market into a simple powerpoint flowchart.  It highlights the systemic issues with our capital markets today, and while I don't agree with all of the implied solutions, it definitely gets me thinking in the right direction.  For instance, maybe it is wrong to idealize wealth as status and coast at your job, as you could wind up a very rich criminal in the end.  Then again, I am about to start my HBS experience in the fall...
Verdict: It'll make you a better person... (do it)
