Jeff Brown, news editor
1 “9 to 5”
— Everyone knows they can run the office better than their boss (my present boss excepted, of course!)
2 “All the President’s Men” — This behind the scenes look at politics and journalism is most revealing.
3 “Modern Times” — I love classic films, and this is one of Chaplin’s standouts.

Brian Citino, staff writer
1 “Caddyshack”
— I caddied one summer at a country club. It wasn't nearly as funny as the movie.
2 “Clerks”/”Clerks 2” — Both brilliant despite the long gap between films.
3 “The Secret of My Success” — Dayyy bow bow, chip, chipa-chickah (think “Oh Yeah” by Yello)

Doug Denison, staff writer
1 “Fight Club”
2 “Empire Records”
3 “Glengarry Glen Ross”

Jayne Gest, staff writer
1 “The Apartment” — A classic that never gets old.
2 “What Women Want” — I can’t stand Mel Gibson now but he’s great in that movie.
3 “Mr. Mom”

Sarika Jagtiani, staff writer
1 “Up in the Air

2 “Norma Rae” — The ever-so-spunky Sally Field turns in a winner. Not as good as the classic “Soapdish,” though.
3 “Baby Boom” — A guilty pleasure written by super scribe Nancy Meyers.

Maureen Raitz, editor
1 “The Paper”
— I’ve always wanted to re-enact the Glenn Close/Michael Keaton “stop the presses” scene. Just for fun.
2 “Working Girl” — Ahh, the plight of an ambitious secretary. “Six-thousand dollars? It isn’t even leather!”
3 “The Devil Wears Prada” — Miranda Priestly is the embodiment of the boss from hell. She turns out OK, though.
