[FRIAM] Glengarry Glen Ross

[Stephen Guerin]

Yes you were asking for recommendations for movies with Alec Baldwin given
the Santa Fe trial for the shootnig. (Way back yesterday when the news of a
shooting was different)

Stellar cast and dramatic play adaptation:
Al Pacino - Jack Lemmon - Alec Baldwin - Ed Harris - Alan Arkin - Kevin
Spacey - Jonathan Pryce

Baldwin's has only one scene giving a speech as a ruthless condescending
sales trainer:

memorable enough that some of his lines have made it into culture and
quoted ironically:

   - A-B-C. A-Always, B-Be, C-Closing. Always be closing!"
   - "Put that coffee down! Coffee's for closers only."
   - "You see this watch. That watch costs more than your car."
