Office Space matters precisely because it refuses to offer false hope or patronising platitudes about finding meaning in meaningless tasks. Judge nails the quiet, simmering despair of anyone trapped behind a desk, waiting for retirement or death - whichever mercifully comes first.

A film inspired by cartoons about a mumbly, put-upon office worker named Milton. A director best known for his animated mischief. A cast of brilliant comedic actors who knew exactly how to capture the daily grind. Shot in Texas, set in a faceless office park, Office Space zeroes in on the mind-numbing monotony of "TPS reports" and the soul-crushing existence under fluorescent lights.
