See this one!
I highly recommend Crude Impact.
It's visually appealing; it covers a lot of fossil fuel -related issues in a way that is easy to understand (in part, because of the visuals); it's very comprehensive -- the film shows connections between a lot of issues (global warming, war, Third 'World' poverty, etc); and it ends on a high note by highlighting the potential for positive, constructive action (albeit not the sort of approaches to these problems that I would foreground, as I'm not a believer in individualistic gadget-centred strategies).

It gives a taste of the film, but it doesn't capture how well done it is.
