Movies that feel likeOffice Space (1999)

A depressed white-collar worker tries hypnotherapy, only to find himself in a perpetual state of devil-may-care bliss that prompts him to start living by his own rules, and hatch a hapless attempt to embezzle money from his soul-killing employers.

If you loved Office Space, the closest films we have are In the Loop (2009), Lost in America (1985) and Trading Places (1983). All three share Office Space's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Withnail & I (1987).

Witty and playful in the same breath

The same preoccupation in both: satire

David and Linda Howard are successful yuppies from LA. When he gets a job disappointment, David convinces Linda that they should quit their jobs, liquidate their assets, and emulate the movie Easy Rider, spending the rest of their lives traveling around America...in a Winnebago.

🍅 90%★ 7.4comedyPrime Video

Darkly funny comedy, and it commits to that

Kazakh journalist Borat Sagdiyev travels to America to make a documentary. As he zigzags across the nation, Borat meets real people in real situations with hysterical consequences. His backwards behavior generates strong reactions around him exposing prejudices and hypocrisies in American culture.

Election poster

🍅 92%★ 7.2comedy · dramaParamount+

Both lean on wit more than on comedy

The difference: Leans harder into drama than Office Space does

A high school teacher meets his match in an over-achieving student politician.

Playful comedy in both cases

When Adolf Hitler reawakens at the site of his former bunker in present-day Berlin, he is mistaken for a comedian and quickly becomes a media phenomenon.

Drop Dead Gorgeous poster

🍅 47%★ 6.7comedy

Both run darkly funny where it counts

The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

In a small Minnesota town, the annual beauty pageant is being covered by a TV crew. Former winner Gladys Leeman wants to make sure her daughter follows in her footsteps; explosions, falling lights, and trailer fires prove that. As the Leemans are the richest family in town, the police are pretty relaxed about it all. Despite everything, main rival (but sweet) Amber Atkins won't give up without a fight.

Scary Movie poster

🍅 52%★ 6.3comedyParamount+Peacock

Both sit in the same witty register

A familiar-looking group of teenagers find themselves being stalked by a more-than-vaguely recognizable masked killer! As the victims begin to pile up and the laughs pile on, none of your favorite scary movies escape the razor-sharp satire of this outrageously funny parody!

Life of Brian poster
Life of Brian
1979 · dir. Terry Jones
🍅 96%★ 8comedyPrime VideoPeacock

The shared currency is play

The difference: Made in the 1970s, in a different era of the craft

Brian Cohen is an average young Jewish man, but through a series of ridiculous events, he gains a reputation as the Messiah. When he's not dodging his followers or being scolded by his shrill mother, the hapless Brian has to contend with the pompous Pontius Pilate and acronym-obsessed members of a separatist movement. Rife with Monty Python's signature absurdity, the tale finds Brian's life paralleling Biblical lore, albeit with many more laughs.

The Producers poster
The Producers
1968 · dir. Mel Brooks
🍅 92%★ 7.5comedy

A streak of dark humor through both

A conniving Broadway producer and his meek accountant plan to profit from charming wealthy old biddies to invest in an overbudget production, and then put on a sure-fire disaster, so nobody will ask for their money back — and what's more disastrous than a tasteless musical celebrating Adolf Hitler.

Idiocracy poster
Idiocracy
2006 · dir. Mike Judge
🍅 71%★ 6.5comedy · science fiction · adventurePrime Video

Both are Mike Judge's work, and they rhyme

The difference: Sits closer to science fiction than Office Space does

To test its top-secret Human Hibernation Project, the Pentagon picks the most average European-Americans it can find - an Army private and a prostitute - and sends them to the year 2505 after a series of freak events. But when they arrive, they find a civilization so dumbed-down that they're the smartest people around.

Withnail & I poster
Withnail & I
1987 · dir. Bruce Robinson
🍅 84%★ 7.5comedy · dramaMax

The comedy is handled with the same confidence

Two out-of-work actors -- the anxious, luckless Marwood and his acerbic, alcoholic friend, Withnail -- spend their days drifting between their squalid flat, the unemployment office and the pub. When they take a holiday "by mistake" at the country house of Withnail's flamboyantly gay uncle, Monty, they encounter the unpleasant side of the English countryside: tedium, terrifying locals and torrential rain.
