They Live, Office Space, Fight Club, maybe big Lebowski
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!
The bums will always lose!
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.

I’m not going to single out a movie, but 1999 had the best slate of “fuck you, cubicle” movies ever.
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
You know most people don’t need two comments to up vote “Office Space”
Fight Club
I’m not sure I’d put it in this category.
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.
They didn’t just shun work they were actively trying to destroy it.
Brazil
Salt of the Earth
It’s more pro-labor and unions than anti-work, but is absolutely amazing, and there’s a cool story about production getting banned and the actors in the movie are the actual people from the incident. Totally worth watching.
