Can you provide a Hollywood movie that promotes materialism?

Pick a Hollywood movie.  Seriously, just pick one, and I'm confident it promotes materialism.  


Materialism is basically finding meaning and value in life through owning stuff.  


Ironman has Tony Stark.  Yes, he is a hero, but an incredibly materialistic one.  He demands owning the best of the best.

Pick any Fast and Furious movie.  The characters don't just want cars to get from point A to B.  They want the most amazing cars ever.  In the most recent film, the one character is seen driving a $1,000,000 Bugati Veyron.  


Limitless.  Instead of using his newly acquired super brain to tackle things like ending world hunger or finding a cure for cancer, he uses it to make tons of money and buy lots of toys.  


Sex and the City.  It's a movie about shopping. . . and more shopping. 


Crazy Stupid Love. It's about a guy that buys nice stuff in order to be cool and woo women. 


Pretty Woman.   The main character is not happy until a crazy rich guy starts buying her stuff.  


Clueless.  It's about teenagers shopping. 


Devil Wears Prada.  Main character doesn't get any respect until she starts buying nice stuff.
