I love short films. Granted, I can’t remember half the titles of short films that I’ve seen so I’m hoping this thread will jog my memory a bit.
One short film I like a lot is ‘Twin’. I think it came out shortly after ‘Twin Peaks’ ended on TV. What they did was to basically take whole snippets from the TV series and string them together into a a whole new storyline - about a director who’s obsessed with ‘Twin Peaks’.
The whole film is very low budget as it’s made almost entirely of footage from the series, but the end
(slight spoiler!)
where the guy loses himself in his fantasy is pretty vivid and eerie.
Does anybody else remember this short film? And would like to add their favourites? It could be live action or animated, in any language. Most of my own faves are animated. Although, like I said, I can’t remember any of their darn titles…
On the Internet: “401” and “George Lucas in Love” By far the best Internet short films; both absolutely perfect.
If it’s animated films you want, I could list dozens – Chuck Jones, Tex Avery, and many other directors. Skipping over the obvious, I’d list “Bambi Meets Godzilla,” “The Crunchbird” and “The Critic” (not the Jon Lovitz TV series, but the Mel Brooks cartoon).
Un Chien Andalou - Of course! I watched this in art history class when we were doing the Surrealists. Freaked the hell out of me, with that eyeball and razor blade scene.
That was the first thought in my mind when I read the thread title.
