Reagan,
The Coca-Cola Kid comes to mind. Eric Roberts travels to the Aussie
outback to colonize the one place on the planet not selling Coke, and produces
a commercial starring local talent, including an Aboriginal pipist, hoping to
lure people from their "native" drink. It's a very silly movie, of course.
Also, the Verhoeven/Neumeier films Robocop and Starship Troopers offer
wonderful media parodies.
