The stage adaptations of this Pulitzer Prize-winning play are countless, but it’s with this 1992 screen version that audiences everywhere learned that all-important real estate motto: Always be closing.

With actors like Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Kevin Spacey (currently starring in a revival of Mamet’s Speed-the-Plow at London’s Old Vic) and Alec Baldwin, it added Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations to its resume.
