GGR as #9 business movie?
MSNBC, who everyone looks to for their opinion on American cinema..., has compiled a list of the Top 10 business movies.

One of my favorite movies of all-time, "Glengarry Glen Ross," is included at (a way too-low) #9. Here is what they say about it:

"'Glengarry Glen Ross' (James Foley, 1992). Delivering a lethal pep talk to a group of real-estate salesmen, Alec Baldwin has the role of his career in this superbly acted treatment of David Mamet’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play about a business that devours its workers. Al Pacino is a dynamo as the most aggressive of the salesmen. Jack Lemmon plays an aging loser whose sad situation echoes Arthur Miller’s 'Death of a Salesman.'"

"Put that coffee down!"
