I just came here to upvote every "Idiocracy" comment

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.
