Spotlight On... Save the Planet

With James Cameron's Avatar coming out on April 20th (releasing Avatar on Earth Day may or may not be ironic... that one's up for debate), Reckless Video is turning the spotlight on Earth Day movies:

There are plenty of films based around care of the environment in one way or another, and we've picked out a wide variety of them, to include awareness documentaries like An Inconvenient Truth and The 11th Hour, as well as Paulie Shore and Stephen Baldwin wrecking the Bio-Dome, or Homer Simpsons' environmental disaster in The Simpsons Movie.

The theme is wide ranging enough to pull the "tone poem" movies like Koyaanisqatsi and Baraka, Steven Seagal's eco-warrior films (On Deadly Ground and Fire Down Below), and even Godzilla Vs. Hedorah, the most psychedelic of the series, where Godzilla battles an evil smog monster that feeds on pollution.
