If an alien civilization were to visit Earth, what movie would you pick to show them in order to give them a summary of what mankind is all about? (lemm.ee)

I thought the movie did a decent job of telling the story considering the limitations of the medium.

According to the author many studios have approached him over the years with unacceptable alterations and that one was the first one to come along with anything good enough.

He said it had to be literally children, first of all, and they always wanted to change that.
