The Invention of Lying
Obviously the greatest documentary ever committed to film: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension.
If I could get away with a miniseries, James Burke's Connections.
Or Cunk on Earth. It's a toss-up.
Letting them know what mankind is all about seems like a terrible idea. We're jerks.
Double Feature: Ender's Game (2013) and Starship Troopers (1997) - then we serve them a sumptuous shellfish tower to discuss their surrender over dinner.
Ender's Game was such a pile of shit (FYI, I love the book) even the anti-grav tag sequence couldn't absolve it. Swap it for District 9 and you're closer to the target - especially with the fookin' prawn dish.
Napoleon dynamite pretty much sums it up. I intensely dislike the film but it's pretty indicative of the human condition.
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) - Literally telling aliens that we will fuck shit up.
Stalker (1979) - You can leave your garbage and we'll think it's treasure.
Dude, Where's My Car? (2000) - Humanity is really just a bunch of idiots, stumbling through everything.
Wall-E. Sums it up pretty well
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
Hellraiser II
Shawshank Redemption
Half Baked
Earth Girls Are Easy
“The Final Member”
It’s a documentary about the worlds first penis museum in Iceland trying to finally secure a human specimen
Fellowship, two towers, return of the king. Tell them it's one movie showing how the littlest person can make the biggest difference.
Magnolia
Charlie Chaplin Modern Times
An interesting choice, but they'd be pretty mislead about how our economy works 90 years on.
They Shall Not Grow Old (2018) by Peter Jackson.
Samsara
Either point break or bad boys 2.
Schindler's list. Yeah aliens. It's like that. Go ahead and end us thx.
Nobody has mentioned porn. We try and say things in our great works of art but maybe they'd learn more from what we make when we're trying to say nothing at all.
Rocco's Animal Trainer #3.
End of ze world.
Salò.
Samsara
