I know there are Glengarry Glen Ross devotees here.

Do any of you incline towards thinking that, in its own way, David Mamet's "American Buffalo" with Dennis Franz and Dustin Hoffman. is just as good?

I enjoyed American Buffalo, but not as much as Glengarry Glen Ross. Then again, I saw both as movies. I think Mamet's stuff generally works better on stage.

If you ever get a chance, go see a live production of Mamet's, Oleanna. I saw the original production in NY City starring William H. Macy. It was excellent.
