History of the world: part 1
Independence Day. Just run away, alien dudes! The xenophobia isn't worth it!
Schindler's List. Humans can be nasty, horrible, utterly evil. It's all too common. But some of us will work to do good. Some of us will push back and do what's right. There is evil in this world, but there is also goodness.
"Contact" for a similar reason. It's a mix of all motivations, along with people's general mistrust of each other.
Koyaanisqatsi or Baraka, since I'm guessing they won't understand English nor indeed any human language.
I made the mistake of watching Baraka on 3gs of mushrooms.
I am a changed man.
Life of Brian, no doubt
300
Let them think humanity is 99% buff oily badasses in speedos who will gladly fuck you up until their dying breath.
The man from earth. That should confuse them.
My autistic ass would have them watch all three Lord of the Rings movies. Y'all need to find a better diplomat than me.
Don't Look Up - https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/dont_look_up_2021
Sort of summarizes the total shit-show that current politicians and billionaires are responsible for.
The Big Lebowski
Avatar. We will destroy habitats to get what we want.
"Us too! Anyway, we're building this hyperspace bypass..."
Mean girls
Idiocracy.
Real answer though, 2001 a space odyssey.
Independence Day.
I'll tell them it was a documentary. Or at least based on a true story.
History of the World: Part 1 seems pretty fitting.
Just the entire Cunk on Earth series.
100% factual information about human history.
5th Element is the only correct answer.
You should show them my latest movie that I can't promote right now.
They would be so confused, it would be hilarious.
Orgasmo. The '97 one, not the '69 one. ... fuck it, also the '69 one. Make it a double-feature.
Don't Look Up
Not a movie exactly, creators asked some basic questions and invited people to submit footage from a single day in July 2010. Exciting or mundane, anything.
Itβs really well put together and always gives me a refreshed perspective on my place in the world.
They did it again in 2020, during the pandemic.
Baraka... but they'd be 30 years out of sync with today :-)
The Gods Must Be Crazy. I think it shows the absurdity of our modern civilization in a lighthearted way.
Obviously the complete Stargate franchise. Humans don't put up with aliens tryin' to pull any shit.
Eraserhead.
