Are you fiending for a kick of the corporate thrill from playing cubicle but your coworkers (friends) are too busy with life? Here is our CEO-approved list of movies to clock-in mentally even when you’re clocked out. These films will be a perfect watch for the next mandated office pizza party.
- Mike Judge, Office Space (1999)
Our first choice is indie darling, Office Space. This film explores the humdrum sluggish feeling of working in a corporate environment, perfect for encapsulating how it feels to work at cubicle. If you’re a fan of hijinks and dark comedies, this film may be a fan favorite. So if you could watch it… that would be great.
Card: Coffee Mug or corporate wellness program
- David Fincher, The Social Network (2010)
For those inspiring tech bros, this film is a perfect choice for you. This film follows the development of Facebook and the relationships that form and break as the site is created. These corporate betrayals mimic the strategy in Cubicle, to make it to the top you might need to stop on some of your peers to make it.
Card: Deleted Files or Clingy Buddy
- Boots Riley, Sorry to Bother You (2018)
If you’re more into satires that go off the rails and delve into dark comedy, this film should be promoted to your watchlist. Sorry to Bother You (2018) follows a telemarketer as he climbs up the corporate ladder until he understands what it means to wear the boot instead of the licker. This is a perfect cubicle watch with its over-the-top plot points, it’ll remind you of the satire in Cubicle getting you that fix.
Card: Anti-YOUnion or cold calling or collaborative justice
Whether you’re looking to watch a movie while clocked out or to watch instead of finishing that report due Monday this list will be perfect for feeling cynical about the corporate lifestyle. If you’re looking for fun.
