Great Moments in Film: Glengarry Glen Ross

The 1992 film adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning play about desperate real estate agents fighting for their jobs features one of the most powerful motivational speeches on celluloid. The all-star performance garnered an Best Supporting Actor nomination for Al Pacino and a Venice Film Festival Best Actor for the late Jack Lemmon.

Alec Baldwin
provides electric rhetoric during this scene in what I believe is his best performance: Warning! Strong & Explicit Language


For you fans of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,' here's a video of Artemis performing an excerpt of this speech for an audition. Hilarious!
