The Pursuit of Happyness (2006) has to be up there. The inciting incident is Will Smith going to Wall Street and seeing all the happy, smiling rich people walking out of the New York Stock Exchange, and deciding he wants to be like them. There is no irony in this or in any other scene; pursuing a finance-bro internship at all costs is portrayed literally and uncritically as the "happyness" in the title. The entire rest of the movie is a masturbatory hustle-culture fantasy in which Will Smith having to do things like being homeless, sleeping in subway bathrooms, kissing the asses of as many banking executives as possible, and foregoing feeding or clothe his kindergarten-age son are portrayed not as indictments of the system but as evidence of Smith's smart, bootstraps-oriented thinking. The rich people throughout the movie are jovial and well-adjusted, always willing to give a smart guy like Smith a shot (but only when they see his plucky bootstrappiness firsthand, which they only do once he insistently fellates them first); meanwhile, all poor people are miserable, underhanded slimeballs who are nothing but trouble for Smith. This movie is the Mein Kampf of liberalism.
What else?
Iron Man 2 is pretty bad even by Marvel standards, since it portrays Tony Stark, the weapons manufacturer, as the good guy who ”has privatized world peace” (actual quote). The bad guy is a stereotypical Russian who's (rightfully iirc) pissed off at Tony because his dad denied him credit for his inventions.
At the end of the movie, genius Tony figures out how to repower the arc reactor by recreating a brand new element because of course the guy is charge of the company is super smart and therefore deserves to be rich. Did I mention that there's a :melon-musk: cameo?
