I found this documentary a while ago that's incredibly fascinating. It's a BBC production by Adam Curtis about American culture and how it has been shaped by marketing, and it gets into consumerism, individualism, politics, spiritual/religious movements, and history over the 20th century. There are four parts, and each part is an hour long, but it's so worth watching. It's had my brain turning for weeks.
NOTE: There is some disturbing war imagery, specifically from World War II, at the end of Part 1 and beginning of Part 2. Just be warned.
Updated Note: The link to part 1 has changed. This updated link is slightly lower quality, but it's still the right video.
Part 1
