The 88th Academy Awards ceremony had just passed. So the post would like to present to all Oscar-watching movie buffs out there the top five films every home building industry professional should see.

Here's the list of Hollywood's best attempts at tackling the real estate industry:

"The Big Short"

The film was a hilariously haunting depiction of the 2007-2008 financial crisis. It brought the terrors of the bubble burst to millions of television sets around the world. If real estate professionals want to find out exactly how the industry got into this debacle, this film is your complete guide, History Vs. Hollywood reported.

Adapted from the book "The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine," a truthful depiction of the credit default mess written by financial writer Michael Lewis, the movie offered a tell-all portrayal of the financial market crash. It followed a group of eccentrics whose bet ended up profiting from the market's downfall.

"Glengarry"

It is considered to be one of the best films of all time. It offered a front row seat to the dubious side of the real estate industry. Based on Pulitzer Prize-winner David Mamet's play of the same title, the film depicted the everyday lives of a cast of testosterone-filled real estate professionals, who used shady tactics to sell properties within Chicago.

The group members were some of the most respected actors in Hollywood namely: Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino, Alec Baldwin, Alan Arkin, Kevin Spacey and Ed Harris.

"The Money Pit"

This comedy movie is a remake of the 1948 movie of the same name starring Myrna Loy and Cary Grant. It marked the first ever collaboration between Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks.

Hanks played Walter Fielding Jr., an attorney and insecure lad who realized that his classical musician love interest is way out of his league. After losing their apartment, they decide to delve into homeownership. The storyline builds up when the couple learned of a million-dollar mansion that is on the market for only $200,000.

Real estate films never became a label, but films like these present a distinct quality and concern for homeowners through the housing market, Consequence of Sound said.
