Carhenge: Genius or Junk? is a 2005 documentary film about Carhenge, an artist's almost-to-scale interpretation of Stonehenge, but built with automobiles instead of megaliths. Located in Western Nebraska, Carhenge has become a huge tourist attraction and also a center of local controversy.

In the film, creator Jim Reinders challenges a community's definition of art, freedom of political expression, and appropriate land use development. This documentary focuses on Reinders' effort to erect the monument, and to then keep it from being dismantled. It also addresses aspects of public art and how, in many forms of art, the creative effort is often more about group unity than about the final end-product. The program runs 26:40.

The director, David Liban is a professor at the University of Colorado Denver.

This film has been broadcast on Public broadcasting stations nationally, Israeli television, and at the following film festivals and conferences:
