It doesn't exactly sound like a comedy: A trio of secretaries determined to stand up for themselves against a cruel, abusive boss. But the 1980 film 9 to 5 remains a beloved film, decades later — not just because it's hilarious, but because of its strong feminist stand for equality in the workplace. Today, it represents workers rising up against oppressors, a theme that remains as vital as ever (or, given rising income inequality, perhaps even more so).
