"A, B, C ... A, Always, B, Be, C, Closing ... Always Be Closing ... Always Be Closing". Alec Baldwin had an awesome performance in Glenngary Glen Ross.

I actually have Glengary Glenross on my iPhone, one of my favorite movies of all time.

Boopie · 21 November 2008, 02:36 PM

Not a sales movie per se, but Annette Benning's real estate agent character was a big part of "American Beauty." I'm not a fan of the movie but I liked the way her character (not a very sympathetic person) tried really hard to fix up a dreadful house that she had to sell.

"Tin Man"

Interesting thread. I think the three (Wall Street, GlenGarryGlenRoss and Tin Man)should be prescribed viewing for all in sales!

Great movies!!

Tin Men and USed Cars......I have used Kurt's lines in some of my sales pitches at IBM
I remember walking around Mesa watching them film the movie.
I could not figureout why they would shoot a movie like that in Mormon county.
