office space
Fight Club
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, rather than goofing off they’re actively trying to destroy it.
I’m not sure I’d put it in this category.
Modern Times (with Charlie Chaplin)
Soylent Green
Matrix
They Live, Office Space, Fight Club, maybe big Lebowski
They Live is about manipulating the masses to consume and be silent. 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.
Yeah, well, you know… That’s just, like, your opinion, man.
Shut the fuck up, Donny.
Sounds like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays!
- 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
Seconding Falling Down
Office space
This thread doesn’t have enough Office Space so I’m gonna say Office Space
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.
You know what I’d do if I was rich? Two “Office Space” comments at the same time, man
Fuckin” A
Well, since nobody has mentioned office space yet…
They have
But not enough.
Also, I suggest Office Space.
To list one no one else has mentioned yet: Sorry To Bother You
Horse people?
Equisapiens
this, for multiple reasons
Horrible Bosses
I would have thought that rule 1 would be “no stupid questions” but here we are
Edit: sorry! I read the question as “anti-woke”
I did too at first, you’re not alone.
I would add a more recent one : Mondays https://imdb.com/title/tt27510455
These are a bit of a stretch… Joe Vs. the Volcano Brazil
Joe Vs. The Volcano is among my favorite movies ever made.
“I know he can GET the job, but can he DO the job! … I’m not arguing that with you!”
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.
Waiting… [2005]
Glad someone mentioned this gem
