Fellowship, two towers, return of the king. Tell them it's one movie showing how the littlest person can make the biggest difference.

Nobody has mentioned porn. We try and say things in our great works of art but maybe they'd learn more from what we make when we're trying to say nothing at all.

An interesting choice, but they'd be pretty mislead about how our economy works 90 years on.

L'Arroseur Arrosé. That will show them not to block the sunlight with their ship.

(It would also show them our love for beauty, aour dependency on water, sense of humour and sense for justice.)
