Howstuffworks' Top 20 Satire Movies of All Time

Satires are a staple of the film industry, providing powerful social commentary when done well. The best satire movies use this technique subtly and don't hit you over the head with it, but still find ways to make their point.
Satires take a familiar story or genre and make fun of it through imitation, often providing a comedic spin on serious issues. These films are capable of providing social or political critique, while at the same time entertaining audiences through often hilarious means.
