If i had to pick out a few which are definitive "escape the system" movies it would be:
THX 1138 (http://trakt.tv/movie/thx-1138-1971) First movie ever made from George Lucas. About a man who starts a secret relationship in a totalitarian society where everything is controlled by the government.
The Astronaut Farmer (http://trakt.tv/movie/the-astronaut-farmer-2006) About a man who despite all odds wants nothing more than to go to space in his own self-made spaceship. Eventually he succeeds even though NASA tries to stop and eventually ignores his accomplishments.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (http://trakt.tv/movie/one-flew-over-the-cuckoos-nest-1975) About a prisoner who is bored and acts crazy to be send to the insane asylum. There he tries to inspire his fellow patients and rebel against the head nurse.
Brazil (http://trakt.tv/movie/brazil-1985) About a man who in a dysfunctional totalitarian regime tries to fight against the bureaucracy of the system (i think, its a movie from Terry Gilliam, so half of it didn't really make any sense to me).
