There is another film I actually like as much maybe even more. I do like David Mammet a good bit and actually have come to like Spaceys performance as much as anyones in the film. The Simpsons have incorporated a character in their show based on Jack Lemmon's character in GGGR.

That movie is "The Prime Gig" with Ed Harris, Julia Ormond and Vince Vaughn. Give that a whirl too. Don't get me wrong, GGGR is great but I think it gets an unfair boost from its great cast over its content more than anything. Sometimes Mammet is too much and a little unbelievable IMO.
As good as the Baldwin scene is it's too much - 3rd place, your fired.

  I thought it had an ending and it was a bit predictable or was at least an option of what might happen. Thieves of a sort getting hoodwinked by other thieves. Misery loves company etc. I was OK with it.

Too bad - I like Ed, the great(est) underrated actor.
