9 to 5

A hilarious ode to female friendship and workers' rights released 45 years ago, this film's themes are still startlingly relevant today.

In this classic workplace comedy, Judy, Violet, and Doralee work for “sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot” Franklin M. Hart Jr., a vice president of Consolidated Companies. They’ve had enough and plot their revenge. Both music and performances were nominated for Grammys, an Academy Award, and a Golden Globe. Featuring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton.

1980 -- 109 minutes -- Rated PG for thematic material -- Comedy

This fictional movie was loosely inspired by the real-life 9 to 5 movement, established to fight for workplace equity and against wage discrepancies between men and women. A documentary about that movement will be screened at the library (or from home) later this month. 

Watch the trailer for 9 to 5.
