"I’m probably the least financial-minded person there is, and I’ve never owned a stock, bond or whatever else people invest in. But I am an expert on being broke, being poor, being frugal and, most importantly, putting things into perspective. What I mean is, whenever I feel like things just can’t get any worse for me money-wise, I think of the people who are or were actually worse off than I am. And by people, I mostly mean characters from the movies. So, as you may be worrying about your finances after Black Monday, consider dropping by the video store on your way home from the office (or job interview) today. Invest a few bucks into your own sanity and happiness by renting one of the following movies. Don’t worry, I’ve tried to make the selections rather common and accessible. If you’re like any of the financial guys and girls I know, you’re not likely the sort to go for obscure or difficult cinema. And if you are of the sort, then you probably don’t need this list anyway.

"When I was in high school, I was channel surfing and saw a clip from this movie. I remember thinking that it was unfortanate that my peers thought that this was funny and a good film and congradulated myself for my superior taste. Then I probably left to hang out with my then-best friend, who had bonded with me over our shared belief that we were so much smarter, nicer, more ethical and more cultured than everybody else. Ah, youth. I would like to submit this review as an example that I have progresed, at least a little. Indeed, the movie is very funny and is one of the best comedies of the 80's. It also has a certain sweetness that other Murphey vehichles lack, making it the actor's best film. Murphey plays Prince Akeem, heir to the throne of the African nation of Zamunda. Tired of living in opulance, he convinces his father, the King (James Earl Jones) to let him go on a trip before he enters into arranged marridge. Taking his servent Semmi (Arsenio Hall) with him, Akeem he ... "

"1. Manhattan: A Woody Allen classic all too often overshadowed by Annie Hall. The story is pretty much the same as most of Allen's films. He plays a lusty, bumbling New Yorker seeking love wherever he can find it�a search which lands him with a high schooler and later his best friend's mistress. With Meryl Streep and Diane Keaton. 2. Small Time Crooks: One of the few recent Woody Allen films worth seeing. The story follows one cookie manufacturer from near failure and foreclosure to fortune and fraud: delightful! 3. Coming to America: Eddie Murphy at his best! Murphy as an African prince arrives in Queens to find a wife and goes undercover as an employee at fast-food restaurant. 4. Trading Places: Eddie Murphy was so funny once, what happened? Oh, right. Enter: Norbit. Here, Dan Aykroyd and Murphy team up to get back at Aykroyd's boss and stick it to The Man. 5. Blu "
