I use the following films effectively:

A Man Called Bee (to deal with fieldwork)
The Baka (Subsistence Strategies/Hunters and Gatherers; Ihave also used N!ai)
Ongka's Big Moka (for economics and exchange; have also used Annette
Weiner's film on the Trobriand Islands)
Bali: Masterpiece of the Gods (for religion and the arts)
First Contact (for culture change); I have also used the film on the Kayapo
For Gender or Kinship I have used Masai Women and Dadi's Family.
