Fun fact: I have watched none of the movies listed here in the comments
Samsara
Cloud Atlas
Oooh! I think that's my favourite so far. It would introduce several eras including the ones we only envision in our future, and would introduce a number of concepts about myths, stories and social structures.
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.
Fellowship, two towers, return of the king. Tell them it's one movie showing how the littlest person can make the biggest difference.

Schindler's list. Yeah aliens. It's like that. Go ahead and end us thx.
Citizen Kane.
Charlie Chaplin Modern Times
