Yeah. Obviously I way underrated it.

I don't know, there are tons of great movies in the bracket. If a 15- seed wins it, so be it.

Karate Kid taking a round 1 loss makes me want to rage quit this site.

That's a fair take, but it's the accident of seeding, not the 80s-ish-ness of the movies. Karate Kid is the better movie, it's the more iconic movie, and it's not as purely 80s as Wall Street. Materialism/consumerism/and Wall Street greed are some of the most conspicuous parts of 80s culture. This was a time of the dying private-sector union, deregulation, and the triumph of the unregulated markets. And that's what Wall Street is about.

Fixed it.

I agree that greed is timeless, but so is an underdog story:
Take your pick: Willa Cather, "There are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before," or Shakespeare, "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances...Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history...sans everything."

I think this one is probably done, I'll let @gigem call it.

Jesus, I'm truly angry at myself for this bad matchup. I truly didn't give Wall Street the respect it deserves.

Karate Kid occupies a special place in my memories. I didn't expect it to win the whole thing, but I felt like it would be a Elite 8 Contender.

Call it. Wall Street upsets.
