There have been some great movies made about business or sales during the past 50 years, but when it comes to nailing the best it's not Death of a Salesman that comes to my mind, but Glengarry Glen Ross.
I guess that I have seen this masterpiece about 20 times and each time that I view it I like it a little more. It may have one of the best cast ever assembled for a movie: Al Pachino, Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin, Alan Arkin, Ed Harris, & Kevin Spacey. The "F-word" is used over 100 times and the "S-word" is given equal treatment, so it's not a movie for the timid. In fact, the actors supposedly called the movie "Death of a f**king Salesman" when they were making it.

A few of my favorite lines from Baldwin's character:
Blake: These are the new leads. These are the Glengarry leads. And to you they're gold, and you don't get them. Why? Because to give them to you would be throwing them away. They're for closers.
~~~
Blake: Your name is "you're wanting", and you can't play the man's game, you can't close them, and then tell your wife your troubles. 'Cause only one thing counts in this world: get them to sign on the line which is dotted.
~~~
Blake: A-B-C. A-Always, B-Be, C-Closing. Always be closing, always be closing.
