This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

Only Murders in the Building features the HOA. It's a TV show, and also I haven't finished it yet, so it doesn't quite fit your question. But it's also a good show.
Hot Fuzz
When Sgt Angle outlines his theory that the killings are a conspiracy to build a rival supermarket on land where a highway bypass is to be built, only for the actual reason being that the people had an annoying laugh or their house was ugly was so brilliant. Love that movie.
The greater good!

Shut it!
Crusty jugglers!
GOOSE!!!
Over the Hedge
Of course.
Wasn’t sure if you meant that or “Over the Edge” from 1979. Can’t remember if HOA specifically was the Bad Guy, but it was kids vs The Man.
Maybe Poltergeist? The HOA just moved the gravestones, not the bodies. Hence the whole haunting thing going on.
That wasn’t an HOA, it was a real estate development company
There is an episode of the X files where the monster is summoned by the HOA.
My favorite episode in the series.
"It's not a swimming pool, it's a reflecting pool. Going to be very serine. Nothing in the bylaws against it."
This was a great episode.
That one hit different after becoming a homeowner
The village (2004)
It's not an HOA situation, but in Midnight Madness, the landlady is a bit of an asshole. Although, none of the other characters are exactly angels either, so there's no traditional heroes here when everyone is an asshole in this movie...
It's technically a Men's Association, but: The Stepford Wives
I would say The Matrix, but I guess that’s more of landlord situation?
EXCUSE ME human, your pod in block 5S-AA67 is 4 centimeters farther out from the frame than the rest of the pods, we need you to be within HOA regulation of the proper distance of your pod or face additional fees!
I watch movies to escape reality
Not exactly the prompt, but "Chuck" Season 2 Episode 13: "Chuck Versus the Suburbs."
