Movies about work

I am looking to make a list of movies about work, preferably in an office setting.

So far I pick

Office Space and 9 to 5.

The TV show The Office is certainly applicable, no? If not, then hey - at least it's been mentioned and no-one else will look foolish by posting it in the thread...
