It's been a long time since I watched it, but Requiem for a Dream manages to accept systemic sexual / carceral violence on its face and use it as bludgeon against people who develop drug addictions in a particularly evil way. On the surface it tries to portray a tragedy, but underlying message may as well be "this is what you get."

The internet was insufferable for a few years after that movie came out. AMVs were brutally killed by excessive use of its canned epic music, too.
Rambo II. There were never any POWMIA after the war, but shit like this and a bunch of grifters spawned a whole cottage industry of faux investigations and congress hassling and bad action movies and people still fly those stupid fucking flags to this day.
