6. Office Space (89 Mins)
This 1999 comedy, written and directed by Mike Judge, is a biting satire of workplace culture. Peter Gibbons is a software engineer who hates his job and finally decides he’s had enough.
Peter shares a scheme with a couple of his closest work colleagues which involves them stealing fractions of a cent from each transaction going through their employer, Initech. Providing everything goes to plan the theft shouldn’t be detectable and they stand to earn a small fortune over the next few years. However, there are some complications…
Jennifer Aniston also features as a local waitress, named Joanna, who is frequently reprimanded by her supervisor for not showing enough enthusiasm at work and only doing the bare minimum. She and Peter bond over their mutual hatred of their jobs.
Despite its lukewarm critical and commercial reception upon release, Office Space has gradually garnered a cult following. If you’ve ever worked a job you hated, you’ll find something to like here.
