One of my person favorites (besides "Desk Set") is a lesser known film
called "Office Space." In it one of the minor characters is a records clerk
responsible for collation and distribution of reports. During a
reorganization, consultants discover that he was actually laid off, never
told, and continued to be paid for 3 years. Rather than inform the poor
records-dude that he has been sacked, the consultants just remove him from
the payroll. To add insult to injury, the records clerk's office is moved 3
times finally resulting in him being relocated to the basement with no
lights & a can of bug spray to control the roaches.
Not a movie, but isn't there a records related episode of "Black Adder?"
Couldn't resist - just had to add this one!
