One of my top 25 films has to be Office Space (1999). Directed by Mike Judge, creator of Beavis and Butt-head (1993-1997; 2011-present) and Idiocracy (2006), among so many other fantastic unforgettable comedies.

It stars a young Jennifer Aniston and Ron Livingston (Band of Brothers, 2001). What I love about this film is that it accurately depicts office relations and politics so accurately. I often feel like Jennifer Aniston in this film, because I too have to where a horrible apron at work- fully equipped with badges or “flair”. I hate it.

I highly recommend this film for some lighthearted look at office politics and how you can lose faith in humanity behind a desk. I forced friends to watch this film years ago and they consider it to be one of the best comedies they have ever seen.

If I don’t convince you let the quotes do the talking.

P.S. also stars a young John C. McGinley (Dr. Cox).

Tom Smykowski: It was a “Jump to Conclusions” mat. You see, it would be this mat that you would put on the floor… and would have different CONCLUSIONS written on it that you could JUMP TO.
Michael Bolton: That’s the worst idea I’ve ever heard in my life, Tom.
Samir: Yes, this is horrible, this idea.

Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I’ll tell you what I’d do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.

Bob Porter: Looks like you’ve been missing a lot of work lately.
Peter Gibbons: I wouldn’t say I’ve been *missing* it, Bob.

Drew: I’m thinking I might take that new chick from Logistics. If things go well I might be showing her my O-face. “Oh… Oh… Oh!” You know what I’m talkin’ about. “Oh!”

Samir: why does it say paper jam when there is no paper jam? I swear to God, one of these days, I just kick this piece of shit out the window.
