Sure the Super Bowl is a day for football, excessive eating, and amateur gambling, but for many people it is of course the television ads that remain in the memory long after the game is over. For those of you in need of some pre-game hype, the following film festival offers movies of every genre, but all of them satirize the world of commercials and advertising in their own unique way.

How to Get Ahead in Advertising: Bruce Robinson reteams with Richard E. Grant after their cult hit Withnail & I for this blistering portrait of a corporate go-getter who gets advice from the strangest place.

Putney Swope: Robert Downey Sr.’s scathing satire of both advertising and race relations skewers every subject it takes on, and also shows where many of the stranger bits of business in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Boogie Nights came from.

Crazy People: Dudley Moore, Daryl Hannah, and a bunch of mental patients create a bunch of successful advertising campaigns by having the audacity to speak the truth.

Nothing In Common: The dramatic sections of Garry Marshall’s film are nothing new, but the sections that show how Tom Hanks‘ smartass ad exec creates a new series of spots for an airline are well-observed and incredibly funny.

Face in the Crowd: Easily the most serious film on this list, Elia Kazan’s wicked examination of television’s inherent capacity to help dangerous people control minds stands as both the first and the finest film work in Andy Griffith’s career.
