Obviously the greatest documentary ever committed to film: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension.
District 9
Letting them know what mankind is all about seems like a terrible idea. We're jerks.
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) - Literally telling aliens that we will fuck shit up.
