Since short movies are not allowed on WTM, I thought it would be good to open a thread with some really nice shorts, they can often be found on the net, not always though :(
Of course we all know (or should know) the famous short Un chien andalou or the experimental early shorts of David Lynch
But more recently, there are some amazing stuff out there so let me start with a few :) dont hesitate to post some as well, I will add some later

Madame Tutli Putli
wonderfull dark tale, unic atmosphere, 4 years of work for 17 mns



Copy shop


L'homme sans tête


Of course it is better to find these on dvds for the quality, there are some awesome short collections such as Cinema 16 (probably the best collection of shorts that exist at the moment)

of course this one should be here as well.

Ticker, a promotional film for BMW, with Clive Owen

Nice asmodai! I like it, visually it is stunning, I would have liked a bit more story line though...

very nice thread, chrisy!

and of course a Pixar short has to be posted here. ;)

Knick Knack (1989) - directed by John Lasseter


I chose this one because it is one of my favourite shorts from Pixar and because I think that not everybody has seen it.

Try from Jonas Åkerlund (director of Spun)
wonderful short!! quite disturbing as well

I really like the shorts by Stéphane Aubier in the series "panique au village"
One of my favorites is "le grand sommeil"

and I'm sure this is not a short, but its about two of my favorites in one, so I take the opportunity to link it here:

Le dernier Chaperon Rouge from Jan Kounen
Very famous for the French ones I suppose, I could only find it in French :( but you can find a collection of the 4 shorts from Jan Kounen on DVD, they are very nice!

for Youtube and Dailymotion, you can directly copy/paste the address
For googlevideo, I had to struggle a bit as well. I can't explain without messing up the post, just post the link if you stuggle, I will edit your post :)

i really liked this short movie Hirsute

Here is a movie that won a contest that happened for the Be kind Rewind release in France on Dailymotion
