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

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

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

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

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.
