I think we could all make up a pretty long list about this, especially if 
your definition of "marginalized people" is broad.  Here's some recent 
titles just to start things off:

_World Apartment Horror_ (Otomo Katsuhiro, 1991)
_Tsuki wa dotchi ni dete iru_ (Sai Yoichi, 1993)
_Swallowtail Butterfly_ (Iwai Shunji, 1996)
_Junk Food_ (Yamamoto Masashi, 1998)
_Atlanta Boogie_ (Yamamoto Masashi, 1997)
_Ai ni tsuite, Tokyo_ (Yanagimachi Mitsuo, 1992)
_Kanako no tame ni_ (Oguri Kohei, 1984)
_Kamikaze Taxi_ (Harada Masato, 1994)
