I just came here to upvote every "Idiocracy" comment

Napoleon dynamite pretty much sums it up. I intensely dislike the film but it's pretty indicative of the human condition.

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.

Hellraiser II

Wall-E. Sums it up pretty well

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.

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.

Fellowship, two towers, return of the king. Tell them it's one movie showing how the littlest person can make the biggest difference.

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.
