Best office-life films

Sorry to bother you, interns and clock-watchers: once your nine to five is done, your after-hours assignment is to get stuck into this Showdown. One for the white-collar psychos and working girls, we’re taking the lift up to the executive suite and getting down with love. We spend so much of our lives in these very particular spaces, whether vast, open-plan floors or sectioned-off cubicles, that it’s no surprise storytellers often focus on the shenanigans behind office doors. As we learn how to work around horrible bosses and Prada-clad devils once again, list up to ten great corporate capers featuring workplace wolves, bloodsucking bastards, beta testers, executive koalas—or just supreme set design, office supplies intact.
