We rented Thank You for Smoking recently. It's a great satire of the while lobbyist thing, where big companies use politics and PR to smooth out public dissent. Aaron Eckhart did an excellent job playing a bad guy who you actually love. I haven't seen such conversational articulation since Nathan Thurm.
On the flip side, Fast Food Nation is a gritty realistic and depressing look at how big companies operate. The author of the book collaborated with the movie production. He made an interesting comment about the state of fast food in a special feature documentary. Something like "I don't think fast food is unsafe- in fact I like it. I just don't like how it gets made."
