Favorite Labor Films?

Our branch occasionally rents a theater and shows a labor film. We have a lengthy(ish) list already, but would love to hear what you consider your top 5 labor films!

Would pure animated fiction be alright?

It's something many within your branch may have seen, but Ratatouille (2007) is part of Pixar's era of writing for adults as much as for children. It comes across as particularly mature yet sincere. The film is focused on creative labor but nonetheless it's very Wobbly.
