Topic: What movies do you show an alien to explain humanity to it?

Eddie brought this up in the "Answer, ask" thread, but I figured that I'd create a thread so that more people could take a crack at it. So, what movies best explain what humanity is all about?

Was there a Teletubbies movie?

I couldn't find one, but IMDb reveals that...holy shit...there are over THREE HUNDRED episodes of Teletubbies. You could work with that.

Re: What movies do you show an alien to explain humanity to it?

I'd show them V, though that's a series (new one, I never saw the original). It would show them that no matter how good they appear to be or are, humans will react to them in every way possible. We're a complex species, ranging from extreme distrust to blind devotion and everything in between. Some of us will fight to the death, and others will want to become slaves. In fact, we'd probably be in the midst of a global civil war as they'd be watching it.

I think Alien Nation would also be good for that smile

Schindler's List. It contains just about every aspect of humanity there is.
