    • Office Space
    • Clerks
    • 9 to 5

    More anti establishment than anti-work, but still worth mentioning:

    • Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
    • Fight Club
    • Falling Down
    • They Live

      That’s more anti-finance than anti-work.

      They run a business making soap, after all.

        They work only to bring chaos… “it was beautiful, we were selling rich women their own fat asses back to them”. Tyler works in a restaurant to piss in the soup. Works in a cinema so that kids see single slices of hardcore porn. The narrator bleeds all over himself to blackmail his boss into paying him to ‘work’ from home and do nothing.

        They didn’t just shun work they were actively trying to destroy it.

      They Live is about manipulating the masses to consume and be silent. Work is just a small side topic.

      Fight Club is about personal power over people. Domination.

      Big Lebowski is your typical loser story. A fairy tale.

    Salt of the Earth

    It’s more pro-labor and unions than anti-work, but is absolutely amazing, and there’s a cool story about production getting banned and the actors in the movie are the actual people from the incident. Totally worth watching.
