Satires - Juvenal
The Golden *** - Apuleius
Candide - Voltaire
Gulliver's Travels - Swift
The Rape of the Lock - Pope
Master and Margarita - Bulgakov
Huckleberry Finn - Twain
Animal Farm - Orwell
Brave New World - Huxley
Catch 22 - Heller ...

...are just a few of the most famous.

As for film,I immediately thought of The Great Dictator by Chaplin,but I'll have to get back to you on film,just can't think of any right now:crash:

For films, how about Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove"? Also, most of Luis Buñuel's movies are satires of the Catholic Church and bourgeois values.

A Handful of Dust ~ Eveylyn Waugh
