What are some of the best movies with Marxist themes? Kind of like how Avatar is anti-imperialist or A Bug's Life. Basically movies that aren't necessarily explicitly Marxist but have Marxist themes.

A lot of old film noir basically had a premise of "there are no ethical or humane choices a person can make in this fucked up world". From what I recall though, quite a few of the people writing and directing these did actually have socialist politics, a lot coming from Europe during the world wars. But the way they created these bleak, inescapable capitalist hellscapes is very effective at getting some complex ideas across.
