Movies that feel like I'm All Right Jack (1959)
Naive Stanley Windrush looks for a career in a family business. Much to his dismay, he finds work at a munitions factory where he has to start from the bottom, while both the management and the labor union use him as a tool in their fight for power.
If you loved I'm All Right Jack, the closest films we have are The Ruling Class (1972), Lost in America (1985) and The Producers (1968). All three share I'm All Right Jack's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is A New Leaf (1971).
