A group of cubicle drones at a Texas computer company break out of their conformist shells in this hilarious 1999 Mike Judge (Beavis and Butthead) comedy that flopped in theaters but quickly went on to become one of the biggest cult films of the new century. Ron Livingston (Band of Brothers) stars as a bored-out-of-his-skull office worker who resorts to hypnotism to cure his blues - with disastrous but hilarious results. There are funny sidetrips to a Bennigan's-style chain restaurant where waitress Jennifer Aniston is taunted for her lack of "flair."

If you love Mad Men you will be thrilled by this Oscar-winning Billy Wilder comedy-drama that shows what Manhattan office life was really like way back in 1960. Jack Lemmon is the lonely worker who thinks he can get ahead by letting his boss borrow his apartment for afternoon trysts. Shirley MacLaine is the elevator operator (remember those?) with a soft spot for Lemmon. My Three Sons star Fred MacMurray shocked some of his fans in the role of the aloof and adulterous boss. The mix of laughs and drama here made the picture one of the biggest hits of the early 1960s.

Peter Riegert (of Animal House and Crossing Delancey fame) stars in this charming 1983 comedy about the challenges of balancing career and a personal life, from Scottish writer-director Bill Forsyth. Riegert loves the Houston oil business rat race until he is sent to Scotland to finalize the purchase of a small coastal town destined to become a vast refinery. The warmth of the Scottish locals gets under the organization man's skin and he begins to wonder if he should try to save the town. Burt Lancaster gives one of his finest performances as the oil company tycoon who flies in to seal the deal.
