I would add to these all three of the Sergio Leone Spaghetti Westerns:

A Fist Full Of Dollars
For A Few Dollars More
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

_Other People's Money_ had a pro-capitalist aspect in that the villain, Danny DeVito's corporate raider, got decent lines. His speech before the workers made a reasonable practical case for the possibility that closing the factory was the right course of action for them and their families. I'm talking about the "buggy whips" speech. That speech was based in a healthy understanding of reality and economics. Lines like "The easiest way to go broke is to have an increasing share of a decreasing market." and "I'll bet that last company made the best darned buggy whips you ever saw." Sure, he was the villain. But he was treated sympathetically. You got the sense that there might actually be another side to the argument, as opposed to the pure good-versus-evil setup one finds in movies like _Erin Brockovich_ or _China Syndrome_.

Consider another Clint Eastwood western, Pale Rider, in which the anonymous gunfighter takes out a gold-mining company that's crowding out a lot of individual miners.

I would refer you to "The Betsy," an overindulgent Tommy Lee Jones vehicle about the familial power struggles within a fictitious auto company:

How did Sabrina make the list of movies that portray a “cold-hearted capitalist”?

The speech the Linus gave to Dennis on how business creates products that better the lives of working people pretty much obliterated that stereotype.

You are missing the based-on-real-life, 80's exuberance, "Barbarians at the gate".

How about "King Rat"?
