20 Best Movies Starring The Friends Cast

9. Clockwatchers (Lisa Kudrow)

Two years before the release of Office Space, there was Clockwatchers, an altogether less-wacky and more grounded riff on the humdrum existence of downtrodden office workers, with a distaff twist no less.

Lisa Kudrow stars alongside Parker Posey, Lisa Kudrow, and Alanna Ubach as a quartet of office drones subject to daily humiliation in their depressingly mundane office jobs.

Toni Collette is a far and away the MVP as Iris, the shy temp who slowly learns to self-actualise, but the chemistry between the four central characters is what really makes the film work.

Given that writer-director Jill Sprecher could so easily have made Clockwatchers a more broad and commercial-skewing comedy, it's so refreshing that the end result is a more oppressively true-to-life drama than that - if still tenaciously entertaining in its own right.
