Re: Dirty Recommendations
Even though many might have seen it already, i'll still recommend:
Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)
Directed by: David Mamet
Starring: Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino, Ed Harris, Alan Arkin, Kevin Spacey, Jonathan Pryce and Alec Baldwin.
One of my fav movies ever, this is an "actor's film" if there ever is one.
Based on David Mamet's play, Glengarry Glen Ross revolves around four desperate real estate salesmen racing for clients (or "leads") as they do not want to get fired by the end of the week. Doesn't maybe sound that tight on paper, but on screen it gets very tense.
Glengarry has an all-star cast, and absolutely everybody is on superb form. Mamet's dialogue is also a standout.
(Who could forget that hardball sales pitch by Alec Baldwin?)
I love this film.
