    Agreed on most of these... but I really didn't much care for "Company Men." Found it kind of cloying and self-important. "Glengarry," obviously, is a total classic.

    Michael Douglas as a man on the verge, a point that any of us could reach when the stars align against us.

    The single biggest marketing tool for Red Swingline staples on the planet and the inspiration for my own "Bob " collection!

    The most recent and brutal in the bunch. Chris Cooper and Ben Afflack shine in this one.

    This film proves that layoffs can be a full time jobs for folks in the HR field. It shows the dark side of corporate Human Resource staffers.
