Wanna pay to play again? 'The Company' has an offer where-by one can simply pay a fee and try their life over. Isn't that convenient?
	Robocop (20th Anniversary Edition) (1987)
Misanthropic corporate men, big-business ruled America, privatized police, corporate persons are not liable for corrupt practices. Only when RC becomes 'corrupted' is he able to break his programming and rebel. Fact or fiction?

The fast food industry depends on cheap and abundant product at any cost. Human, the other 'white' meat!
	Soylent Green (1973)
The working-class are caught in a system where they fight each other to pay the ruling class for the privilege to eat themselves. Credit card anyone?
	They Live (1988)
What if the world around you was actually just a fabricated collage of subliminal messages pushing you to live a life of consumption, apathy and subservience? Don't put these shades on.
	Dawn of the Dead (1978)			Not Rated
If you were the walking dead where would you go? If you were the last living human where would you go? If you were raised proper there is only one place, THE MALL!
	It's a Wonderful Life (1946)			Not Rated
They would like you to believe that human worth is counted in dollars. If you can't keep up you might as well kill yourself. Wait! Is that a bell I hear ringing? You mean that's not true?! Schwaaa...Wutever! *kerplunk*
	Sleeper (1973)
Impersonal carnal gratification is absolute nirvana and is conveniently provided to all. Please stay within the lines because the nose knows and rules all!

Woh! This movie wasn't far off, eh?! Authoritarian machines rule through exploitation. And the main character from the movie is now what? *cough* Governor of California. Fact or...oh nevermind.
	The Corporation (2003)			Not Rated
This film is the only one out of the lot that is NOT fantasy. But it'll serve you well in deconstructing what effect the corporation has on the world and constructing a vision that doesn't look like above...
	American Psycho (Uncut Verison) (2000)
...okay, this is a late arrival. but it so perfectly defines corporate culture!
