Some suggestions

Other People's Money, Norman Jewison 1991 (esp. Gregory Peck's & Danny de
Vito's addresses to the shareholders' assembly).

Grapes of Wrath, John Ford 1940 ("I liked the book better", said the goat
chewing on the reel).

Salt of the Earth, Herbert J. Biberman 1954 (The invisible hand's unseemly
gesticulations)

Man Friday, Jack Gold 1975 (another take on the Robinsoniads, Richard
Roundtree and Peter O Toole at their very best).

and of course,

Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny (Rise and Fall of the City of
Mahagonny) opera Bertolt Brecht-Kurt Weil (1930) ("Oh show us the way to
the next pretty dollar").
