History of the world: part 1

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.

Independence Day. Just run away, alien dudes! The xenophobia isn't worth it!

Koyaanisqatsi or Baraka, since I'm guessing they won't understand English nor indeed any human language.

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.

Idiocracy

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.

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.

Independence Day. Tell them it's a documentary.

Just the entire Cunk on Earth series.

100% factual information about human history.

5th Element is the only correct answer.

Idiocracy.

Don't Look Up

Shocked nobody's mentioned 'Mars Attacks.'

Orgasmo. The '97 one, not the '69 one. ... fuck it, also the '69 one. Make it a double-feature.

You should show them my latest movie that I can't promote right now.

They would be so confused, it would be hilarious.

Life in a Day

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.

It’s 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.

Spaceballs

Schindler's List

Baraka... but they'd be 30 years out of sync with today :-)

Obviously the complete Stargate franchise. Humans don't put up with aliens tryin' to pull any shit.

The Gods Must Be Crazy. I think it shows the absurdity of our modern civilization in a lighthearted way.

Honestly, Contact.

Arrival I think would be a great choice.

Eraserhead.

If I could get away with a miniseries, James Burke's Connections.

Or Cunk on Earth. It's a toss-up.

Obviously the greatest documentary ever committed to film: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension.

Doctor Zhivago. And when they inevitably fall asleep. I’m jacking that Ufo.
