Many good picks mentioned already. One of my absolute favorite films is Sidney Lumet's Network (1976). It's satire at its best and it's as sharp and urgent today as ever. Spike Lee payed homage to Network in his overlooked and often misunderstood Bamboozled (2000), which is a brilliant and daring update of the message delivered in Network 24 years earlier.
Another favorite is Terry Gilliam's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) based on gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson's semi-autobiographical novel. Enormously entertaining with Johnny Depp at his best.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.
