For the cubicle workers of the world

... who would rather listen to a movie than work. And, really, isn't that most of us?


If you like the familiar drone of a favorite film, Listentoamovie.com is just the thing. Whether you listen out loud or plug in your headphones, here you can launch a little audio player and tap into a library of over 1,400 movies (and over 200 episodes of The Simpsons, too).

But yes, you can only listen. No video, just an audio stream. It sounds a little odd at first, but I've found that sometimes the right movie can provide a very familiar and comforting sort of white noise to brighten the workday. It also has a "Stealth" mode that changes the player into a fake spreadsheet to fool nosy co-workers, though I'm not sure how you'd explain the sounds of Transformers coming over your computer speakers.

I've been listening to Under the Tuscan Sun, not just because it's a lovely movie but because Diane Lane's voice is soothing and friendly and, honestly, who wouldn't rather be in sunny Tuscany than stuck inside an office?
