Glengarry Glen Ross is just filled with great scenes you could probably mention those in 40 different lists, the dialogue and the acting is amazing there. <br /><br />I LOVE that scene from Casino "Listen, Sammy he's already very sorry (...) YOU TOOK YOUR BOOTS OFF? YOU PUT YOUR FEET ON THE TABLE?!"<br /><br />Another scene I love is Malkovich in Burn After Reading - when he yells he doesn't have a drinking problem and then we cut to him fixing himself a drink :Ps.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-26280916998566244272013-06-19T10:35:50.397-04:002013-06-19T10:35:50.397-04:00Oh god, that is horrible.

Nowadays, he's just an out-of-touch dinosaur who continually likes to have people kiss his ass like that overrated fruity pebble John Cena.<br /><br />Oh, there's another great scene of someone getting fired. Paul Giamatti in <i>Private Parts</i> where he fires Robin Quivers for not giving him the script as Giamatti's intensity where he tells Robin to pack her shit and get the fuck out. Man, you hated his character and ended up rooting for Howard Stern to fire back and get Robin back.
