As Achronos and others have noted many times, videos and screenshots are not a reliable way of proving cheating. The film system shows only the data that was relayed to your XBox 360 rather than what actually happened in the game. In other words, if you were the client and you simply had a bad connection to the host, it may appear that players are speeding around the map, assassinating you from the front, sniping you through walls, and other actions that you might think are cheating, when in reality all that happened was that the action on the host XBox 360 (which resolves disputes between the various clients) did not match the action on your own XBox.
Unfortunately, I fear that a forum filled with these kinds of videos and screenshots would only result in complaints when the player who supposedly "cheated" was not banned. Moreover, it would, almost inherently, be filled with flaming and baseless accusations by players who do not understand the basic concepts of host-and-client networking and the saved films feature.
I understand your frustration when players who you think are "cheating" are not banned, but I urge you to keep in mind how the networking and saved films systems work. Then realize that the vast, vast, vast majority (if not all) of the instances that players think constitute "cheating" are actually discrepancies in the networking that are simply a fact of the internet (that nobody can do anything about.... yet).
For this reason, I disagree with this idea.
