I highly recommend "About Time" starring Bill Nighy and Rachel McAdams for a solid non-violent time travel movie.

I know I've seen this one before, but I'm not sure it was here. Worth an upvote anyway, for sheer hilarity.

(more evil thoughts)

A Tobin tax is probably not a terrible idea, but why do they have to associate it with Robin Hood? That will just piss off everyone who doesn't have an envy-based view of economy.
And while Bill Nighy is brilliant at squirming awkwardly, why can't we get some real replies from a real banker?

And why do they focus so much on the banker guy squirming? We don't get to see the (also greedy) face of the interviewer, or hear much of an argument besides righteous retribution against the selfish banker class.

How will they use the funds they raise to help 'the poor'? Straight up alms? Hundreds of billions of pounds applied irrationally can be quite destructive.

Jeez, UK policymakers can just make anything feel ominous, clumsy, greedy and obnoxiously P.C.

There are (surprisingly?) a lot of great names in this:
Bill Nighy
Simon Pegg
Fenella Fielding
Vincent Cassel
