I think it is either the episode with the headhunters, the one where that rocket goes off course and lands on Gary's island, or the one with the hilarious Japanese guy who doesn't know that WWII is over. In any case, he's not getting off the island anytime soon.

if Rocket Science is there you should see it and post review (is it good, is it better than Listen to Me, does it fairly portray the debate culture)

Þingvellir is another site in Iceland. I agree that they should have several more. Also interesting that they would choose a location that people aren't allowed to visit (except a few scientists).

It is great, the best I've seen in several years I'd say.

Suggested libertarian film festival: The Lives of Others, V for Vendetta, Serenity, The Lost City.

These are all pretty recent; is it a trend? Are there older libertarian-themed films that are of the same quality?

Any other suggestions? Maybe Brazil?

For an anecdotal story on how this can work on the margin listen to the recent "This American Life" podcast in which a mother describes how her child was tested, the results indicated that the child was retarded, but the parents were explicitly given the choice of having her child labeled as retarded and getting additional free educational services or dropping the label and losing the services.
