5. The Invention of Lying
It marked the first entry into major motion pictures for the British comedian best known for the UK version of “The Office,” the classic sitcom that was eventually ported over to an American series of the same name.
“The Invention of Lying,” as its name suggests, follows the story of the first man who has ever told a lie. He uses the power at first for his own gain and then quickly begins to realize just what type of power he actually wields.
