Salt of the Earth
It’s more pro-labor and unions than anti-work, but is absolutely amazing, and there’s a cool story about production getting banned and the actors in the movie are the actual people from the incident. Totally worth watching.

Falling down, since office space has been mentioned already.
Edit: nvm falling down was already mentioned.
'Office Space', easily.
This.
You know what I would do with a million dollars?
Two girls at the same time?
Umm... buy a lot of staplers?
the first spongebob movie
office space
- Office Space

Seconding Falling Down
I’ll give you three guesses why Disney has never greenlit a sequel to A BUG’S LIFE, and the first two guesses don’t count.
To list one no one else has mentioned yet: Sorry To Bother You
Horse people?

Fight Club
That's more anti-finance than anti-work.
They run a business making soap, after all.
They work only to bring chaos.. "it was beautiful, we were selling rich women their own fat asses back to them". Tyler works in a restaurant to piss in the soup. Works in a cinema so that kids see single slices of hardcore porn. The narrator bleeds all over himself to blackmail his boss into paying him to 'work' from home and do nothing.
They didn't just shun work they were actively trying to destroy it.

"I'd prefer not to."
These are a bit of a stretch...
Joe Vs. the Volcano
Brazil
Joe Vs. The Volcano is among my favorite movies ever made.
“I know he can GET the job, but can he DO the job! … I’m not arguing that with you!”
Mr Waturi is the unsung hero of that film. As a supporting actor, he nailed the tone of the film by personifying the rank stupidity of corporate thinking.
He can definitely do the job.
Anything you watch instead of doing you job.
Go to work? Fuck that, I'm watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy instead.
You mean I'm watching the 12 hours of BTS (again).
It's more effective if you do it on the clock.
This thread doesn't have enough Office Space so I'm gonna say Office Space
One of the coolest things I’ve ever heard about Office Space is that Mike Judge had a alternate ending where when we check in at Peter at the end of the movie and his new construction boss is just another Lumburg. Which really hit home with the fact that it’s not the office jobs that sucks, all jobs suck.
You know what I'd do if I was rich? Two "Office Space" comments at the same time, man
Fuckin” A
You know most people don’t need two comments to up vote “Office Space”
Modern Times (with Charlie Chaplin)
Soylent Green
Matrix
- Ferris Bueller's Day Off
- Hackers
Waiting... [2005]
Glad someone mentioned this gem
They Live, Office Space, Fight Club, maybe big Lebowski
They Live is about manipulating the masses to consume and be silent. Work is just a small side topic.
Fight Club is about personal power over people. Domination.
Big Lebowski is your typical loser story. A fairy tale.
Yeah, well, you know... That's just, like, your opinion, man.
Shut the fuck up, Donny.
Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays!

Anything in the Alien universe. Weyland-yutami do not take proper care of their employees.

They have
But not enough.
Also, I suggest Office Space.
Office space
I'm not going to single out a movie, but 1999 had the best slate of "fuck you, cubicle" movies ever.
Brazil
Horrible Bosses
