    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)

    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.
