Business movies

"If it weren’t for us, you’d have no damn phones at all.

AT&T.

We’re tired of your shit."

A few more:

Gung Ho
Rising Sun
Take This Job and Shove It

Reminds me of Ernestine, the snotty telephone operator played by Lily Tomlin: “Here at the phone company, we help everyone from the President of the United States to the scum of the earth.”

“See THE FREAK- this movie won’t just scare you, it will fuck you up for life!”

I had just started working for mental health agencies when that movie came out and you wouldn’t believe how upset a few activists from the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) got. Most of the mental health patients and professionals I knew who saw it thought it was hysterical (unrealistic of course, but no moreso than most comedies).

Broadcast News
Taking Care of Business
Picture Perfect

The Secret of My Succe$s

From Crazy People:

“Sony. Because Caucasians are too damn tall.”

I really like that movie.

Unionizing: Norma Rae and F.I.S.T.

Clockwatchers - Indie film about a group of temps in some office (payed by a trifecta of indie film queens - Toni Collette, Parker Posey and Lisa Kudrow)

A truly excellent film.
