You've spent the last year and a half calling your couch your workstation and having to have watercooler conversations only with your cat. But now your office is starting to open back up, and you will be expected to be around people all day. That can feel overwhelming, which is why I compiled 20 movies that will help you prepare for the sometimes wonderful, sometimes horrifying reality of being back at the office.
Burn After Reading is a fantastic film that features blackmail, murder, espionage, and Brad Pitt. But hands down the best parts of the movie are the scenes where CIA officer Palmer (David Rasche) and his superior (J.K. Simmons) discuss the events of the film with a mixture of frustration, disbelief, and apathy. By the end, they have no idea what they've learned from everything that happens, and they pretty much agree to move on without dwelling on it too much. It's hard to call a Coen brothers movie underrated, given their long-held reputation as one-of-a-kind auteurs, but it feels like this dark comedy is not given due credit in its absurd venture into just how stupid almost every job is.
Yes, it's a bummer when work is kinda dull, but that is nothing compared to when your office feels like a place of terror that you genuinely dread going to every day. These five movies perfectly demonstrate what it's like when work is a living nightmare.
Julie (Lily Tomlin), Violet (Jane Fonda), and Doralee (Dolly Parton) are three wildly different women with one very major thing in common: their boss, Franklin (Dabney Coleman), a belligerent misogynist who makes all of their lives a living hell. When they mistakenly believe they accidentally poisoned him, they end up kidnapping him and then running the office in his stead under the pretense that he is working from home. Nearly every "work sucks" movie owes a debt to this classic comedy that also inspired Parton's absolutely phenomenal song of the same name.
You usually don't get to choose your coworkers, but they often are the people you end up closest to because of the amount of time you spend together. These five movies remind us that the real treasure is the friendship you make along the way.
When Ben (Robert De Niro) is first hired as an intern at a startup to escape the boredom of retirement, Jules (Anne Hathaway), the company's CEO and founder, wants as little to do with him as possible. But slowly, Ben is able to win Jules over by working hard and earning her trust as a coworker and, eventually, a friend. By the end of the movie, they are a dynamic duo who both help each other grow as people. So next time an intern shows up at your office, stop by and say hello. You may end up with the De Niro to your Hathaway.
Craig Schwartz (John Cusack) is a struggling puppeteer who is stuck in a miserable marriage with Lottie (Cameron Diaz). He finds work as a file clerk, and there he falls for his coworker Maxine (Catherine Keener), who clearly does not feel the same way about him. When Craig discovers a secret tunnel hidden in the office that allows him to occupy the mind of John Malkovich, he tries to use it to win Maxine over. This hilarious absurdist dark comedy (which was the screenwriting debut of Charlie Kaufman and the feature film directorial debut of Spike Jonze) does not offer the most cheery outlook on office romance, but watching the incredibly bizarre events unfold is a treat.
There is plenty about this movie that has not aged particularly well, most notably the mean-spirited, relentless attacks against Bridget (Renée Zellweger) because of her weight. Some have even argued that the power dynamics at play in the relationship between Bridget and her boss, Daniel (Hugh Grant), are questionable. But the movie doesn't really make an effort to hide the fact that Daniel is a sleazy jerk who only notices Bridget when she "turns her life around," treats her poorly when they get together, and cheats on her. It all builds up to Bridget getting one of the all-time great cinematic send-offs and serves as a reminder of why office romances are often better in theory than in practice.
Kissing Jessica Stein is widely considered a groundbreaking film for its depiction of a lesbian romance onscreen during a time when that was still considered extremely taboo. While the primary romance in the movie is between Jessica (Jennifer Westfeldt) and Helen (Heather Juergensen), there is also the ongoing flirtation and mutual interest between Jessica and her boss, Josh (Scott Cohen). As far as onscreen office romances go, the connection between Jessica and Josh is pretty sweet and innocent, which is often not how these things go.
"Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom " led a crowd of new releases at the box office on the weekend before Christmas Monday. The DC and Warner Bros. superhero sequel starring Jason Momoa earned an estimated $28.1 million in its first three days of release in 3,706 locations in North America, according to studio estimates Sunday. By Monday it is projected to have around $40 million in domestic ticket sales.
The "Aquaman" opening ends a tricky, transitional year for DC superhero films, full of box office disappointments including "Shazam! Fury of the Gods," "The Flash" and "Blue Beetle," as the studio phases out this slate to welcome in James Gunn's vision for the future. "Aquaman 2" was the final "holdover" of the previous administration.
Weekend box office earnings dropped off significantly further down the list, with the romantic comedy "Anyone But You" in fourth place with an estimated $6.2 million from its first three days, expected to reach $9 million including Monday. Directed by Will Gluck, the movie, loosely inspired by "Much Ado About Nothing," divided critics sharply. Audiences gave it a B+ CinemaScore.
"No matter where the box office ends up on the 31st, whether it hits $9 billion or is just close, this is just a boom time to be a moviegoer," Dergarabedian said. "The top 10 reads like a greatest hits of every type of cinema."
This means trailers, a megathread for critic's reviews, release date announcements, etc. Make sure the film in question is getting a theatrical release, and that the studio reports box office numbers.
There's no reason to be disrespectful to others, especially since in the end we're just talking about movies here. Flaming and trolling are not allowed. If you disagree with someone about something, you can explain to them why your opinion is different instead of calling them a nasty name. Tagging users to argue about their opinions is also not allowed.
Office Space was filmed in Dallas and Austin, Texas. It is based on Judge's Milton cartoon series and was his first foray into live-action filmmaking and his second full-length motion picture release, following Beavis and Butt-Head Do America. The film was released in theaters on February 19, 1999, by 20th Century Fox. Its sympathetic depiction of ordinary information technology workers garnered a cult following within that field, but it also addresses themes familiar to white-collar employees and the workforce in general. It was a box office disappointment, making $12.2 million on a $10 million production budget; however, after repeated airings on Comedy Central, it sold well on home video, and has become a cult film.[6]
Several aspects of the film have become Internet memes. A scene in which the three main characters systematically destroy a dysfunctional printer has been widely parodied. Swingline introduced a red stapler to its product line after the Milton character used one painted in that color in the film. Judge's 2009 film Extract is also set in an office and was intended as a companion piece to Office Space.
Peter Gibbons is a frustrated and unmotivated programmer who works at a Texas-based software company, Initech. Unable to stand up to his overcritical girlfriend, Anne, he is in love with local waitress Joanna, but is afraid to speak to her. He is friends with co-workers Samir Nagheenanajar (who hates that no one can pronounce his name) and Michael Bolton (who hates having the same name as the famous singer). Other co-workers are Milton Waddams, a meek collator who mumbles to himself and is mostly ignored by the rest of the office; and Tom Smykowski, a jaded product manager who is routinely scared of being fired. The staff suffers under top-heavy, callous management, especially from vice president Bill Lumbergh, whom Peter hates and avoids confronting. Lumbergh takes obvious delight in micromanaging all his staff in a drab monotone way. He repeatedly makes Milton move his desk, and assigns him humiliating tasks, while making Peter work almost every weekend.
Peter eventually shows up to work and casually disregards office protocol, stealing Lumbergh's parking space, violating the dress code, and removing a cubicle wall that blocks his view out the window. Impressed by Peter's frank insights into Initech's problems, the consultants promote him despite Lumbergh's misgivings; however, Michael and Samir are both fired. Milton is also expected to be terminated, but it is learned that he was laid off five years ago but neither Milton nor the accounting department was notified. Accounting is told to just stop Milton's salary payments without telling him. Milton is subjected to further mistreatment, including the confiscation of his beloved red stapler and the constant relocating of his desk, eventually down to the basement.
On Monday, Peter discovers that a bug in Michael's code has caused the virus to steal over $300,000 across the weekend, which guarantees they will be caught. Peter decides to accept full responsibility, writing a confession and slipping it under Lumbergh's office door after hours, along with traveler's checks for the stolen money. Peter learns that the 'Lumbergh' with whom Joanna slept was Ron Lumbergh, another software engineer unrelated to Bill Lumbergh. He meets Joanna, who has started a new job at another restaurant. He apologizes, and they reconcile.
