9 to 5 (1980). Three female employees of a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot find a way to turn the tables on him.

God, this movie is just wonderful. There’s such a bounceto it in humour, in character, in plot, which carries it through even the more absurd plot points. It captures the way women are pitted against each other professionally and ground down by the heel of both the patriarchy and capitalism, while finding hope and joy in community and solidarity too. Magic stuff! 8.5/10.
