Great ensemble cast. It easily makes my next twenty. I dislike Alec Baldwin, but his scene is the most dominanting 8 minutes of screen time you're ever likely to see. Pacino going off on Spacey towards the end of the movie is pretty classic, too.

Interesting tidbits: when cast members had a day off while others were working, they would drop by the set to watch and study their co-stars shooting their scenes. It also uses the word "frick" or some variation of it over 250 times...so much so, that the cast referred to the movie as "Death Of A fricking Salesman".
