The female Ghostbusters remake comes to mind.

As for an old-time leftist “classic”, I’d give it to “The Grapes of Wrath.” The government as savior of the peons.

You noticed that too, huh?

That one scene where the Joad family "finally" drives up to a govt.-run farm camp, and there's a zoom shot of the sign reading "Federal Govt.," really brought it home for me.

As though the govt.-appointed commandant of the whole camp couldn't also be a mean, greedy, old bastard exacting kick-backs and such for permission to spend the night!

Besides all the other possibilities for graft and unfairness, today, the camp would probably also have to adhere to "diversity" quotas.

Regards,
