    office space

    source
  • EndOfLine@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago
    • Office Space
    • Clerks
    • 9 to 5

    More anti establishment than anti-work, but still worth mentioning:

    • Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
    • Fight Club
    • Falling Down
    • They Live

    Fight Club

    • actionjbone@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      That’s more anti-finance than anti-work.

      They run a business making soap, after all.

        They work only to bring chaos… “it was beautiful, we were selling rich women their own fat asses back to them”. Tyler works in a restaurant to piss in the soup. Works in a cinema so that kids see single slices of hardcore porn. The narrator bleeds all over himself to blackmail his boss into paying him to ‘work’ from home and do nothing.

        Hardly working

      I’m not sure I’d put it in this category.

    I’ll give you three guesses why A BUG’S LIFE hasn’t had a sequel, and the first two guesses don’t count.

    This thread doesn’t have enough Office Space so I’m gonna say Office Space

      You know what I’d do if I was rich? Two “Office Space” comments at the same time, man

        You know most people don’t need two comments to up vote “Office Space”

        source
    • showmeyourkizinti@startrek.website ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      One of the coolest things I’ve ever heard about Office Space is that Mike Judge had a alternate ending where when we check in at Peter at the end of the movie and his new construction boss is just another Lumburg. Which really hit home with the fact that it’s not the office jobs that sucks, all jobs suck.

    Modern Times (with Charlie Chaplin)

    Soylent Green

    Matrix

    Falling down, since office space has been mentioned already.

    These are a bit of a stretch… Joe Vs. the Volcano Brazil

      Joe Vs. The Volcano is among my favorite movies ever made.

        Mr Waturi is the unsung hero of that film. As a supporting actor, he nailed the tone of the film by personifying the rank stupidity of corporate thinking.

        He can definitely do the job.

        source
  • Bezier@suppo.fi ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Well, since nobody has mentioned office space yet…

    source

      They have

      • neidu3@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        But not enough.

        Also, I suggest Office Space.

  • normalexit@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    They Live, Office Space, Fight Club, maybe big Lebowski

    source
    • NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      They Live is about manipulating the masses to consume. Work is just a small side topic.

      Fight Club is about personal power over people. Domination.

      Big Lebowski is your typical loser story. A fairy tale.

    Anything you watch instead of doing you job.

      Go to work? Fuck that, I’m watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy instead.

        It’s more effective if you do it on the clock.

    Salt of the Earth

    It’s more pro-labor and unions than anti-work, but is absolutely amazing, and there’s a cool story about production getting banned and the actors in the movie are the actual people from the incident. Totally worth watching.
