Based on no science whatsoever.
Clerks.
I’m not even supposed to be here today.

Four Lions
Napoleon Dynamite, or something equally “short breath of laughter” funny and completely nonsensical.
There is a Canadian movie called “Beans”, but it’s a drama…
Based on true events, Tracey Deer’s debut feature chronicles the 78-day standoff between two Mohawk communities and government forces in 1990 Quebec.
And of course there’s the documentary about Lemmy Kilmister that is called - lo and behold: “Lemmy”
I’ll nominate an underdog: Alphaville.
Basically unknown, jerks you back and forth between genres, simultaneously art house and amateur, and the main character is named Lemmy Caution. Sure he’s a government agent, but he’s the good guy out to destroy the mind control computer on a distant planet by pitting daughter against father.
Edit: and I forgot to mention it’s in French.
This is really cool
Man. I really need to start watching movies from the French New Wave. I knew Alphaville was technically a science fiction story, but I didn’t realize how far I to the genre Godard leaned.
Lemmings
Is there a film called Lemmings? Seems a safe bet there is one.
There’s that made up Disney wildlife film of lemmings jumping off a cliff. They were chased off the cliff by the movie makers who said lemmings naturally do this. Seems appropriate.
That’s pretty dark.
Is there a movie about Marxist nerds yelling at libs? I’d watch it if so
High Hopes by Mike Leigh seems like it at least partially checks that box.
Given the general social aptitude of this site I’d say The Perks of Being a Wallflower
A Bug’s Life
Office Space, but also the IT Crowd
Hundreds of Beavers (2022). Dunno why. It just feels right.
I think Mallrats is very in this vein - just more PG than Clerks.
