'Trading Places' Director: John Landis (1983) 

Classic comedy in which a street hustler and a snobbish, status obsessed commodities investor have their positions in society exchanged by two obscenely wealthy men in order to settle a wager. Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd are at the height of their powers in the leads with a stellar supporting cast of Jamie Lee Curtis, Ralph Bellamy, Don Ameche and Denhom Elliott.
