The 15 Best Eat-The-Rich Movies, Ranked by Collider

"'Eat the rich' is a sentiment that refers to the increasingly popular trend in movies, both comedic and dramatic, that criticize capitalism and analyze social class inequality. In a world where the wealthy and greedy thrive, those part of the working class struggle due to politics and oppression. They fight back, and power is reversed as the rich fall victim to their deceptive plans. In recent years, filmmakers have explored the concept of rich vs. poor through a number of different narratives, genres, and perspectives. However, what these eat-the-rich movies all have in common is their critique of the excessive privilege the wealthy hold, and the lesser-off underdog outsmarting them all and giving them what they deserve. The working class end up on top, leaving the rich in their shoes." - collider.com
