The Pursuit of Happyness is really bad. Will Smith's inspirational moment is going to the New York Stock Exchange and seeing all the happy rich guys in suits walking around, and wanting to be like them. Having to do stuff like brown-nose executives, sleep in train station bathrooms and pull his son out of daycare due to lack of money are presented not as flaws of the system but evidence of Smith's smart bootstraps-oriented thinking. This movie is the Mein Kampf of liberalism.

Idiocracy -- the whole thing is a eugenics take on poor people are genetically stupid people and vice versa, and their "out of control" breeding vs the smart, civil minded rich people creates a world that's run by the genetically poor stupid people
