The Magnificent Gemstones -- not a movie, but very snarky.

All blurbs are from Wikipedia.
The Last Supper: "The Last Supper is a 1995 American black comedy film directed by Stacy Title. It stars Cameron Diaz, Ron Eldard, Annabeth Gish, Jonathan Penner and Courtney B. Vance as five liberal graduate school students who invite a string of extreme conservatives to dinner in order to murder them. The film premiered at the 1995 Toronto International Film Festival."
Planes, Trains, & Automobiles: "The film stars Steve Martin as Neal Page, a high-strung marketing executive, and John Candy as Del Griffith, a goodhearted but annoying shower curtain ring salesman. They share a three-day odyssey of misadventures trying to get Neal home to Chicago in time for Thanksgiving with his family. "
Serial Mom: "Beverly Sutphin appears to be a typical suburban housewife living with her dentist husband, Eugene, and their teenage children, Misty and Chip, in the suburbs of Baltimore. However, she is secretly a serial killer, murdering people over the most trivial of perceived slights, including mere faux pas."
To Die For: "Suzanne Stone (Nicole Kidman) has always been obsessed with being on television, aspiring to become a world-famous broadcast journalist. She marries Larry Maretto (Matt Dillon), using his family restaurant business to keep herself financially stable, and takes a job as a part-time secretary at a local cable station, WWEN, in the hopes of climbing the network ladder. ...When Larry starts asking her to give up her career to start a family and help out at the restaurant, Suzanne immediately begins plotting to get rid of him."
Falling Down: "The film stars Michael Douglas in the lead role of William Foster, a divorced and unemployed former defense engineer. The film centers on Foster as he treks on foot across the city of Los Angeles, trying to reach the house of his estranged ex-wife in time for his daughter's birthday. Along the way, a series of encounters, both trivial and provocative, causes him to react with increasing violence and make sardonic observations on life, poverty, the economy, and commercialism."
Throw Momma From the Train: "Novelist Larry Donner (Billy Crystal) struggles with writer's block due to his resentment towards his ex-wife Margaret (Kate Mulgrew), who took all the credit for his manuscript and received acclaim for it, whilst Larry, struggling to make ends meet, takes a job teaching literature at a community college. Owen Lift (Danny DeVito) is a timid, middle-aged fellow who still lives with his overbearing, abusive and paranoid mother (Anne Ramsey). Owen fantasizes about killing his mother but can't summon the courage to bring his desires into fruition."

Currently on Netflix:
Mr. Right: "The film, which follows an overoptimistic young woman (Kendrick) who discovers that her new boyfriend (Rockwell) is a former professional hitman, was released in the United States on April 8, 2016, by Focus World, to mixed reviews from critics."

Erin brockovitch.
What we do in the shadows (movie) is funny and silly
The Netflix series “the end of the fing world” has that tone
For a light laugh, I really like Long Shot with Seth Rogan and Charlize Theron last year.
I, Tonya was good, although she probably cared more than she pretended to.
Tiger king or love is blind on Netflix, if you want some pure junk food tv.

Operation Odessa on Netflix. It’s a true story but very salty and snarky.

I send the poster who said Bridesmaids. That is my go-to bad mood movie. If you have HBO, they've been playing it on there pretty frequently recently.

This is not snarky, but I've surprisingly taken great comfort in watching the Matrix movies. Keanu is so calm, yet he kicks butt. It's cathartic, and it's all about fighting the system and our ingrained preconceptions.
Not OP, but found this article that discusses pay cuts for covid19 frontline workers.

I am OP. Yes this is my employer. Who care if I'm outed.
They bought tons of ambulatory surgery centers on a gamble and whoops, this pandemic happened and the golden goose stopped laying.
We're not making them significantly less money. Less, yes. Not significantly less, and the personal risk to us is exponential.
But those money-making outpatient procedures are done, and in three weeks they went under, and are letting frontline workers treating Covid absorb the hit.
Yes I have a contract, and this is blatant breach. Can't sue if company files for ch. 11. Sneaky.
I should probably save this for my therapist. Oh well, DCUM is cheaper.
