Rules (interactive)

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

You know what I would do with a million dollars?
Two girls at the same time?
Umm... buy a lot of staplers?
This.
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.
office space
- Office Space
- Clerks
- 9 to 5
More anti establishment than anti-work, but still worth mentioning:
- Ferris Bueller's Day Off
- Fight Club
- Falling Down
- They Live
Seconding Falling Down
Falling down, since office space has been mentioned already.
Edit: nvm falling down was already mentioned.
I’ll give you three guesses why Disney has never greenlit a sequel to A BUG’S LIFE, and the first two guesses don’t count.
To list one no one else has mentioned yet: Sorry To Bother You
this, for multiple reasons

the first spongebob movie
Fight Club
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.

These are a bit of a stretch...
Joe Vs. the Volcano
Brazil
Joe Vs. The Volcano is among my favorite movies ever made.
“I know he can GET the job, but can he DO the job! … I’m not arguing that with you!”
Mr Waturi is the unsung hero of that film. As a supporting actor, he nailed the tone of the film by personifying the rank stupidity of corporate thinking.
He can definitely do the job.
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

Anything you watch instead of doing you job.
Go to work? Fuck that, I'm watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy instead.
You mean I'm watching the 12 hours of BTS (again).
It's more effective if you do it on the clock.
Modern Times (with Charlie Chaplin)
Soylent Green
Matrix
- Ferris Bueller's Day Off
- Hackers
They Live, Office Space, Fight Club, maybe big Lebowski
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.
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!

Well, since nobody has mentioned office space yet..
They have
But not enough.
Also, I suggest Office Space.
Waiting... [2005]
Glad someone mentioned this gem

"I'd prefer not to."
Office space
Anything in the Alien universe. Weyland-yutami do not take proper care of their employees.
I'm not going to single out a movie, but 1999 had the best slate of "fuck you, cubicle" movies ever.
Brazil
Horrible Bosses
