After Hours
Why this pick
A tightly wound urban nightmare-comedy in which one man’s already frazzled evening spirals through increasingly absurd trouble, with the same pressured, darkly comic momentum.

Glengarry Glen Ross
Why this pick
For Cadillac Man’s work-pressure engine: desperate salesmen, impossible quotas, bruised egos, and volatile competition, played as tense ensemble drama rather than broad farce.
04
The Pope of Greenwich Village
Why this pick
Its restless New York energy, impulsive hustlers, romantic complications, and looming mob danger echo the harried criminal-comic squeeze around Joey O’Brien.
05
A Shock to the System
Why this pick
A biting late-1980s/early-1990s black comedy about career humiliation and social pressure, with an escalating mix of workplace frustration and morally crooked wish fulfillment.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Queens Automobile salesperson Joey O'Brien (Robin Williams) must deal with the ever-increasing pressures in his life: he has an ex-wife demanding alimony, a daughter who is missing, a married mistress (lover) (Fran Drescher) and a single mistress (Lori Petty) who are both desperately in love with him, and a two-day deadline to either sell twelve cars or lose his job. In addition, he has an outstanding loan to a American Mafia Boss (crime) which he must either quickly repay, or lose his life.
