Office Movies

Here is a list of movies that capture the environment of any office perfectly:

Glengarry Glen Ross (1992) - Even though it's about a real estate office, the reason this is a great office movie is the relationship between the characters. If you don't have a Shelley Levene, Ricky Roma, or John Williamson in your office, then you do not work in an office!

Clockwatchers (1997) - The title of this movie says it all. Office theft happens in every corporation (including the military) and dealing with it is no different.

Office Space (1999) - This is on the top of the list for a reason. There is no other movie that captures what it is like to work in a cubicle-filled building quite like this one. It's hilarious, it's true; it's the office.

Fight Club (1999) - Although there wasn't much office business, we did see Norton's character in his office a few times. He works for the typical boss who finds inappropriate material in the office's fax machine. Now, who reading this has never been in that awkward situation before? >.<

The Matrix (1999) - 1999 must have been the year for office satires. Yes, we didn't get to see much of Thomas Anderson's, or Neo's workplace but what we did see was the same thing I see now. Cubicles and drowsy employees waiting for the copy machine to un-jam.

The Office (2001) - Okay, so it's not a movie, it's a TV show. But a brilliant one at that! They pull tons of pranks and jokes that I myself have even copied. Not only that, but a boss that is so full of himself that he doesn't even realize that he is destroying his own persona. Whether it be the U.K. or U.S. versions, you get the same classic office moments that everyone has.
