I like the Johhny Depp remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Willy Wonka wants to make (invent) things that people want to buy out
of his own self-interest to create.  And it shows too the needed trust
in 'capitalism', as in when he closes the factory for a while because
his trade secrets were stolen.  It's also interesting on the creative
destruction of capitalism as when Charlie's Dad loses his job to
automation, but then gets hired back to fix the very machine which
replaced him.  And it's a Dickensian, pre-welfare state because Charlie's
whole family lives together and takes care of each other no matter how
poor they are.

It's definitely a movie full of history of econ thought (and some 
Theory of Moral Sentiments too!) parables.
