Almost all Hal Ashby films are socio-political satires. Even "Coming Home" (which forms a quirky trilogy of sorts with Shampoo and The Last Detail)
was for his appearance.

By the way, have you read this book called, "Raging Bulls and Easy Riders"? I must have mentioned it before.

The Odessa File - A Thrilling Story of a Journalist in Hamburg Germany 20+ years after the Toppling of the Nazi Regime, who is hell bent on Finding Kommandant Edward Roshman, a Rabid anti-semetic who served as a Kommandant at a fictional Concentration Camp at Riga. At first it seems that the young Journalist is after him because of the death of 70k Jews at Camp Riga, but things change as the movie goes on... I love this movie partly because its A movie on the Nazies and the Holocaust which isn't preachy...
I'm surpriced no one has mentioned Casino Jack... Kevin Spacey plays the role of Lobbyist Jack Abermoff.

Name a few obvious ones to get them out of the way:
American History X
An Inconvenient Truth
Fahrenheit 9/11
Bowling for Columbine
I'm guessing Documentaries count as Hollywood.
One of the Best Political satires ever made : Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator."

Documentaries ! Jeez, how did we miss the boat! Krovucho bro will take care of it.
But I'd still, still suggest films that are decidedly put in to other genres that would qualify with strong political allegories and commentary. The Mist, for example. Or the obscenely worse 300 for that matter?

I have not see many, but my all time favorite is 'Mr. Smith goes to Washington', starring James Stewart as Senator, directed by Frank Capra. Wonderful film. Jimmy's tremendous performance, and for just that climax, I can watch any number of times.
