I agree with Henry that most mainstream Western films incorporate some
element of self-critique that, rather than actually weakening the
pro-capitalist stance, serves to strengthen it by appearing to anticipate
its detractors.
The only straightforwardly pro-capitalist film that came to mind was _The
Fountainhead_, which actually seems to suffer because of the honestness of
its ideology.
