Well someone had to do it ...

and the line at 1m32sec in this trailer too ...

Two of my favourite films with both a music and an unemployment streak in 'em.

Any others?

Blimpy here, the first one that springs to my mind is this:

Another of my favorite films, Local Hero, deals with job security too..

And just to wind Snadfrod up, Citizen Kane has unemployment as one of its many profound themes, a statement I make with confidence becaise, being the greatest film of all time, it provides a philosophical base for every question known to man. (I didn't like the part where they killed Rosebud and put him in that guys bed though. Such a tragic end for a nice horsie); June 19, 2009 at 9:44 AM

I forget what year it's set in, but when I was on the dole the You Sexy Thing scene couldn't have happened, because you don't just turn up at the dole office to sign on: you have to go at a specified time which is based on alphabetical order of surnames. So the likelihood of them all being in the same queue at the same time is probably nil.; June 19, 2009 at 2:55 PM
