This is my all time favorite comedy movie, I've seen it more than any other film (about 50-60 times) and every time it's funnier than the last. I know many of you have a similar obsession of the movie as I, and I want to hear your Office Space minds in this thread.
Currently, my favorite line of dialogue is:
"I don't really like talking about my flair"
"Ok"
Peter's tone of voice is just so..perfect in that part :D.
Let's make this thread a winner.
I'm sorry, I liked it too, but I can think of tons of movies that are funnier. Friday and some of the C&C movies immediately spring to mind...
Hey man, everyone is open to their own opinion, I just love Office Space. And if C&C=Cheech and Chong, those movies are pretty damn funny, but a different kind of funny than office space.Quote:

Office Space is brilliant. A movie that deals with a theme everyone can relate to, because everyone has to take crap. It's also perhaps of the most quotable movies since Animal House.
"...I have the memo." :)
Cheech & Chong's Next Movie is a godsend. The donkey balls joke is perhaps the defining moment of cinematic brilliance.
Maybe that's the problem... I never take crap from ppl.. I can't relate...Quote:

mmmmmmkay?
Well, I'm sure you at least have to deal with other people's ignorance once in a while, but if not then that's definately the problem. The funniest sorts of movies are the ones you can look at and relate with.Quote:

This movie was great. It was funny as hell too.
I'm usually not a fan of rap music... but the music fits brilliantly with the movie. It cracks me up when that guy in the beginning is singing along with the music but closes the window and turns down the music next to the man on the side of the road. Brilliance!
"Get it? You jump... to conclusions!"
Awesome film :)
Lumberg was just plain hillarious.
And I love copier/fax death scene.
Weird...I thought the "Rush Hour" series and the First "friday" were actually funnier then Office-Space.
Hmm, I liked first Friday too. But I do HATE Rush Hour with the passion. I dont understand why is it praised soo much??? Part 2 was little better, but still not worth all those money it made !!!

What did you find wrong with the Rush Hour Series...?
Well, Pretty much everything.
Too Americanized. I hated Chris Tucker, he was annoying, not funny, not really likeable(I did like the part where those guys were kicking him in the face in the restaurant :)). Action scenes sucked, and so did direction. Jacky was ok, he always is :), but the movie just felt wrong with me. Bad guys were stupid, and no likeable, and its important to care about bad guys, it makes you root for the hero more.
As I said, part 2 was better, but still have huge flaws, Tucker is still annoying, but action was a little better. Still dont understand where that army of bad guys with machine guns go at the end. There were just 2 bad guys in whole frikin casino???
CHRIS TUCKER is the greatest comedian that ever lived DESPAIR...:mad: Honestly, I think Chris Tucker is great as an actor/comedian...:)
Well, Tucker was funny in Friday, but hell if he wasnt annoying in Rush Hour.
Two words Jennifer Aniston
yeah the rest of the Movie was good too.

Good flick. Most cerainly NOT the best comedy ever if you're any kind of film lover.
(Note the use of the word 'Film' instead of 'Movie'. There's a big difference...)
Totally agree with you on that. "I got my pistol point cocked...ready to link shots non stop until I see your monkey ass drop...and let your homies know who done it...because when it comes to this gangsta shit you know whos runnin'"Quote:

The music just felt so perfect...most specifically on the "Damn it feels good to be a gangster" part, and especially the part with the Fax Machine. "Yeah, we all took something with us today." "I took something else...":lol:
Ive watched this movie countless times, and I never get tired of it. Even when its on comedy central in all its censored glory, I still find myself watching it.
So much "smart" humor in it, and its surprising to see how vastly under appreciated it was when it came out in theaters.
I would have to say my ultimate favorite part of the whole movie though, is not one that has any lines of dialogue. Its that part when they destroy the Fax Machine, and it shows them all liqoured up in Peters apartment, dancing around. They all look so damn funny, and Samir starts busting some major moves. Hilarious!
lol Office Space IS an absolute CLASSIC. It's simply a wonderful movie, even if there's not a joke in progress (which is rare) every scene is still fun to watch because of the atmosphere and chemistry of all the characters...good directing. And hey lots of it was filmed here in Irvine since this is exactly what the business area of Irvine looks like.
Jennifer Anniston is so hot i'm thinking of showing her my "O" face. You know, OH OH OH....
Lumberg is awesome. The whole movie is. The leap of faith game, the Michael Bolton jokes, the wannabe white rapper who turns the music down when he sees a black guy walking towards him so he wont attract his attention, the dippy secretary who says "somebodys got a case of the mondays..." the neighbour next door who can hear everything the guy does. Not to mention the whole plot to get buddy out of his desk and into a smaller and smaller space until he finally snaps.
Just an awesome film.
Was at Best Buy yesterday, and seen a copy on dvd. Really wanted to buy it, but cant right now. But the right time will come soon :)
dont buy it, a new 16x9/anamorphic widescreen enhanced special edition will be out sometime this year.
CRAP! I already bought my copy!Quote:

I'm gonna set the boards on fire....
What an awesome movie. An old thread I know, but the films only recently been released on DVD in the UK and you can pick it up new for £6.
Lumberg makes it. Especially when he's going at it with a chick while drinking coffee. "umm, yeah".
It is a classic.
jae_hoon....lmao.
Coincidentally, that UK series "The Office" finally came out in the US, which I know you're a big fan of.Quote:

I just saw the movie for the first time on Comedy Central a few weeks ago, right after the Dilbert cartoon, which was a perfect lead in. Hopefully, I'll snag a copy of it on DVD.
