Anastasia (1997) has to be a contender. The message is literally "communism is bad because it got in the way of the Romanovs having fancy parties and wearing expensive clothes"

    And then there's The Post (2017), which is all about a fabulously wealthy, heroic girlboss newspaper executive taking on a crooked president threatening our democracy (take THAT drumpf)

      I watched The Post on a long return flight to America. I forgot I did until I read this comment.

      I just remember thinking it was absolutely BORING. One of Spielberg’s worst movies. I believe it was the same flight I also watched Vice and that was pretty good.

        Spielbergs only good movies were close encounters and ET. Every time I rewatch one of his films I’m throughly let down

          In addition to those I really like Jaws, Schindler’s List, Jurassic Park, Minority Report, and perhaps a few more I’m missing. I even think War Horse is entertaining, unlike The Post

          I guess I’m a Spielberg fan

      I discussed with my friend that The Post released in an alternate universe where HRC won would actually be an indictment of the incestuous relationship between the media, politicians and the lib elite , but in a Trump world it stands up for basic principles like 'don't lie' and 'free press'.
