There's also a photog movie with Jane Fonda in it.  1960s, I believe.  I've seen snippets of it, can't remember the title, and nothing on imdb rings a bell.

I'm a police officer and I long for the day when a movie is made about my profession. It doesn't seem right the way Hollywood has neglected law enforcement careers in its story lines.

I have tons of ideas about police officer movies, if only Hollywood were interested. They could maybe make a flick about a cop who is...i don't know...on the edge, and breaks all the rules, yet never gets fired or even faces a board of inquiry. Or maybe make a film about two cops who don't like each other at first due to their clashing personalities, then become the best of buddies through shared hardship. These are all refreshing ideas which really deserve to be filmed....at least once.

Can't believe I didn't notice this post till now...

Alright, first thing, I know of a film about dentists that could suit you, so here it goes, "Novocaine" (2001), starring Steve Martin, who also played a sadistic dentist in "Little Shop of Horrors". I don't like going to the dentist, but if I ever see him replaced by Martin, I'm running.

About my job, I don't know of any films about translators, but there are a hell of films about teachers. My favourites, for sheer stupidity, are "The substitute" and "The Principal".

My sis also would be on the group that works in an office, but rather than feeling identified with "Office Space", she prefers tings like the TV series "Working" or the "Dilbert" comic strip (check out www.dilbert.com). She even stopped reading "Dilbert" because she said it was too faithful to reality.

Due to the horrifying nature of this film, no one will be admitted to the theatre.

A bit of a stretch but how about The Art of War? One of the main characters was a translator.

Or Corbin Bernsen.
