What's the one movie we should send into space for aliens to see?
What movie do you think is the best to send out into space and hope that aliens would watch that is currently out?
Farenheit 9/11?
Fight Club?
Saving Private Ryan?
Scary Movie 3?

But none of the movies you've listed are currently 'out'.
I'd suggest:
Koyannisqatsi
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
and
12 Monkeys
or
Apocalypse Now.

Fight Club. That way, they'd think twice before trying to invade us. Would YOU invade a planet filled with violent schizophrenics? I don't think so.
Either that or a porno so they can see how we mate.

2001 A Space Oddesy and 2010.
Independance Day, only with the CG altered to have huge Coca Cola ads and the text, "THIS IS HUMANITY" written across the spaceships. Naturally those fleshbags on the planet would have to be edited out too.

Battlefield earth so that they can know not to mess with us because even human CAVEMEN SAVAGES can BLOW UP THEIR WHOLE PLANET!

send them a 87 hour tape of non-stop congressional dialogue. They will either realize that we are wayyyy to boring to take over, or it will kill them all. Either way, it works.

But, of course, everything that has ever been broadcast is finding its way across space already - and just think, one of the first programs that any alien species would receive would be that showing Hitler's speech at the Munich Olympics...

Yeah, caus Hitler was alive at the 1972 olympics. Me thinks you are thinking of the 1936 Berlin olympics....either that or the speech at the Nuremburg rallies....

Blazing Saddles. That'll confuse the shit outta them
Blazing Saddles. That'll confuse the shit outta them
hehehehe.
Steel Magnolias. That'll ensure they NEVER land on Planet Earth.
Pirates of the Caribbean. That way, if they're the good kind of aliens, they'll know we're fun, reasonably intelligent people and come down here - and if they're the ungood kind of aliens, they won't like it and they'll stay away. Perfection, no?

Send them something really crappy like Fight Club. It would tell them that Earth really wasn't worth visiting and save their time and effort.

We want to send them the right message that is truthfully describing all humans that we are a good bunch of people and we are your friends. Not gun waving cowboys.
Then they can come and subdue the human race and we would be slave workers to build their giant photon cannon on the earth to obliterate other alien races that do not submit to our masters.
Jordaxia
26-11-2004, 11:42
Hmmm... here's my list. It's definitive.
Aliens
Citizen Kane
The producers (to counter the Nuremberg speeches)
The Life of Brian
The Holy Grail
But the thread only asks for one movie, so my ultimate choice would be....
....
Can't think of one...
....
A not yet made but made specially for sending movie of Christopher Walken reading the Art of War, by Sun Tzu.
"War. Is of the Utmost. Importance.
Of the State, the road to. Survival. Or Ru.In."
(paraphrased, but you get the idea.)

Farenheit 9/11! Farenheit 9/11! Than they could zap Bush Cheyney Rummy Wolfy and the others and replace with a super Democracy team! Would Include FDR (re-encarnated) HS Truman (Re-encarnated) JFK (Re-Encarnated) George Washington (Re-Encarnated) Thomas Jefferson (Re-encarnated) Bill Clinton... Hey wait! This guy wouldnt have to be re-encarnated! Woot! Go Clinton! Notice there are no Republicans? Oh and the aliens would re-encarnate all those god presidents, to make, the Super Presidents Bureau of Justice!!!

Maybe not arrogant, but you are guilty of plageurism. 'First Contact' had the bit about Hitler's speech being beamed back to Earth from the Aliens. ;)
How about 'Dr.Strangelove'? It would at least show them that regardless of the dangers our leaders' actions pose us, we don't take it too seriously.

you all seem to forget, everything transmitted via sattelite/tv is already in space.
which means by the time your movie gets to them, they've already seen movies that came out in the 50s and 60s
but if i could stop them from seeing every movie other than the one i wanted to, i'd send "Independance day", just so they don't get any ideas about attacking us :P

Send them ET so that they think (some) humans are nice and friendly - lulling them into a false sense of security. When they land we steal their ships and technology, turn the aliens into household slaves/limited edition burgers, invade their homeworld, suck it dry of resources, then move on to the next set of aliens.
Remember kids, aliens do not have human rights, therefore we can do to them what we want. "Probe this mother f******!!!!"

i am suprised that nobody has mentioned:
1) the big lebowski. bowling will then become their planets favorite sport. and if they are smart they will make it required viewing.
2) un chien andalou (i know i butchered the spelling, i just didnt feel like looking it up) see how many of them want to come see whats in our brains after watching that
3) any or all episodes of family guy. after watching that they will build an idol to Seth MacFarlane (assuming they have a sense of humor)
there are others that would be great im sure. im just far to tired to think of them at the moment
of course, as soon as they get our dvds, they will probably wonder what to do with them.. unless they somehow have invented a dvd player too. maybe we should bundle a dvd player with the movies? their on their own for a tv.
