Office Space: Written and directed by Mike 'Beavis And Butthead' Judge. It's the story of a man so fed up with his office job, he decides to just stop coming in. With his new found happiness in life he gets a girlfriend and even a promotion at work. But when his work buddies lose their jobs they devise a plan to rob the company. This is such a good, down to earth comedy that can't be missed.
Dazed And Confused: Here's one for you View Askew fans. It includes performances from Ben Affleck, Jason London (brother of and better actor than Jeremy London from Mallrats)and Joey Lauren Adams. It's about a group of teenagers in the 70's on their last day of school. I don't know why but damn this movies good. It's just got that little something that far too many films are lacking these days. Even though it's from 1993 you really do believe it's in the 70's. Don't expect a gross out teenage flick, this has heart and a clever sense of humour. Quite hard to come across these days, but I believe it occasionaly pops up on Sky and is soon receiving a possibly budget R2 DVD release.
Freaked: We know what became of Ted (Kanu Reeves) but where the hell did Bill (Alex Winter) go to? Well he's here in Freaked as not only lead actor but co-director. This is the twisted tail of Ricky Coogan, a money grabbing, self lovin' actor who is sent to South America to be the spokesman for a new chemial product. On his journey him and two companions stop off at a freak show where they are mutated and forced to perform. This is by far the most bizzare and original comedy I've ever seen. It's so stupid it's genius. When they are being transformed, the guy doing it is using a computer. He selects the deform option and it comes up with a selection including "A little. A lot. Michael Jackson." That's just an example of the type of humour to expect. Even the hard to amuse creator of Ren And Stimpy loved it! And that's not all. It also stars Mr. T as The Bearded Lady, Willian Sandler (Death from Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey and was also in Shawshank Redemption) and Kanu Reeves as the uncredited Dog Boy. Simply genius.
If you get the chance to watch any of these films, do so. If you can pick one of these up cheap from eBay, some cheap shop, watch on TV or borrow of a mate, you better. I doubt you'll be disappointed by any of them.
If you have seen them what's your opinions?

Another cracker is "Stir Crazy".
It's on BBC1 every-so-often starring Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder. Very funny throughout.....

Was Office Space on TV before? When? I saw its trailer on the There's Something About Mary video and just had to watch it. After looking everywhere for it I discovered it has been deleted in the UK so had to buy it on Region 1.
I missed Office Space when it was on a while back. Really regretted that, sounds funny. Dazed & Confised was alright, but Freaked was wicked. Mr T as a bearded lady - come on! That's just fried gold.
please excuse the lack of punctuation but yes i too thought it was great really capture the moment well the excitement of the last day etc
What did you think of Dazed And Confused? I loved it...I don't know why, it just has that little something.
ah yes i saw dazed and confused when i was in canada i havent seen the others but will keep an eye out thanks
POP
Anyone else?
Yeah I'll try and give them a look, I always did wonder what happened to the guy that played Bill S. Preston Esquire.
Heres another Office Space Quote for you. Have a look on the website:
www.bullsh!tjob.com/officespace But change the ! for an I
Bob1 - "We found out that Milton, the guy who mubles alot, well he was laid off 5 years ago, but no-one ever told him, and due to a glitch in the payroll he's still been getting paid each month"
Bob2 - "Therefore we went ahead and fixed the glitch"
Lundberg - "You fired him right?"
Bob2 - "No we just fixed it so he won't be getting a paycheck anymore, we don't like confrontations, so it's easier ike this"
