Idiocracy
It’s got what alien civilizations crave
…but after that aliens gonna want to see the “Ass”.
Idiocracy
Everyday idiocracy is becoming more and more real
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.
Samsara for the same reason. It shows beauty mixed with terrifying images of human impact.

Let them think humanity is 99% buff oily badasses in speedos who will gladly fuck you up until their dying breath.
My autistic ass would have them watch all three Lord of the Rings movies. Y’all need to find a better diplomat than me.
My first thought too 😅
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.
Idiocracy
Avatar. We will destroy habitats to get what we want.
“Us too! Anyway, we’re building this hyperspace bypass…”
“Its a bypass. You gotta build bypasses!”
The plans were filed with the local council ages ago, not our fault if you didn’t see them
The lorax is in that same vein lol
FernGully?
Idiocracy.
Real answer though, 2001 a space odyssey.
Idiocracy was honestly my first thought, but they wouldn’t have all the cultural nuance required to understand it. Someone else said Don’t Look Up, which I think would get through the irrationality a bit better.
Haha 2001 was my first thought, and Idiocracy was my second.
The Big Lebowski
That’s, just like, uh, your opinion, man.
Independence Day.
I’ll tell them it was a documentary. Or at least based on a true story.
“Interesting! Tell us, where are these aliens with terrible cybersecurity? We were thinking of conquering you, but now it’s pretty clear that there’s an easier and wealthier target.”
History of the World: Part 1 seems pretty fitting.
Why not part 2?
Gotta start from the beginning.
Just the entire Cunk on Earth series.
100% factual information about human history.
History of the world: part 1
Idiocracy.
