Anything by Paul Verhoeven can be seen as a satire,but the book has been critisised for being military, but won an award fro it's political statement.
Brazil is not subtle, it is a futuristic story of how bad things have got. That is not satire, it is Science fiction.
Robocop was wonderfully satirical, but people just loved the big guns in the leg too much.

I fail to see how you can say Robocop is satirical and Brazil isn'twhen the government, setting and such is pretty much identical. Especially given how it is critically acclaimed as a dark satire... The whole point of Brazil was not futurism, given that the entire enviroment was even worse than it currently is, it was the cutting officious nature of the government and existence and Sam Lowry's attempts to escape it through fantasy. That's not mentioning the autocratic government departments which are frankly haunting.
Also I wouldn't class Hollowman as satire.
