Anybody remember the movie 9-5 with Dolly Parton? I saw it last week for the first time in ages. I love the part when the secretaries were driving around with boss in the trunk of their car! What's your favorite office movie? Hey! Where's my stapler?

Also the movie "Ghost." I love the part where Carl's money laundering gets exposed!

9 to 5 was an amazing movie. Doralee was my favorite.

Office Space is also another great movie.

Office Space is a timeless classic.

My favorite scene from 9 to 5 is when Doralee lassos her boss and then hog ties him. Who hasn't wanted to do that?

Another office movie I associate with this time of year is It's a Wonderful Life. Who doesn't love getting a visit from their friendly bank examiner? And why did they have Uncle Billy make the deposit? Another case of nepotism.

Performing on a stage somewher...
So many 'classic' moments in "9 to 5" it's hard to pick just one; I think when Judy first starts and it trying to run the big a$$ copy machine is hilarious, as well as the part when the two hospital workers find a dead body in the bathroom, "Hey Vera, we got another stiff in the john".....

Office Space is a great movie! I just watched it again a few days ago. I forgot about how good 9 to 5 was, I'll have to catch that sometime soon. Need to start preparing myself for corporate America again. laugh

I always like "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter is Dead". Christine Applegate's character had to work in a office. It is funny for an older movie.

Which one had Harrison Ford in it? That's the one I was thinking of, both of these I think were similar in story line.
