i'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with Archel there, cz although they are both set in offices etc etc, the moods are totally different: the office is sometimes really, really depressing, and not really 'comedy'. 'office space' is so much more 'heightened'. both are brilliant, though.
I concur.

They do have totally different moods, it's true, and do their thing brilliantly in their different ways. It's just that, within the relatively small subset that is 'films and television programmes set in offices' I think The Office is superlative.

Then, I got a job working in an office. We had two IT guys: one Indian American and one dorky white guy. They brought in a consultant, and then they fired both of the IT guys and replaced them with a cadre of cheap students from nearby Cal Berkeley. This was among many other things that could have been ripped straight out of my office if not for the fact that the film was made prior to me working there.
Our Milton's name was Leo, for what it's worth. I'd like to think I was the Peter, but I probably was more along the lines of Steve, the guy who sells the magazines door-to-door.

I love the next-door-neighbour. Some of the most subtle acting, just the way he declines the lead character's offer of a bottle opener as he already has one on his key-ring. Also the bit where he opens his front door and looks genuinely surprised at the glare from the sun.

OTM. I enjoy this movie now more than when it first came out. Might be my place in life though.
― Super Cub, Tuesday, 10 February 2009 20:20 (seventeen years ago)
It has aged really well. It's not until they start talking about Y2K that you're like, oh yeah.
And this movie did more to kill off those big golden eyeglasses that I didn't even realized were dated at the time than any other cultural moment outside of the BTK killer.

I've seen the film just once and the only specifics I remember besides Stephen Root is J Aniston's "flare."

I mainly remember shouting at it "Hey! You nicked that storyline straight out of Superman 3!" and then loving it all the more for pointing this out themselves.

It did? What a great movie. Maybe the best opening scene in a comedy ever.
