SpelingError's Top 100 Favorite Short Films

How many odd additions are there?


Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 2: Time






Thriller





The Finishing Line (1977)

Rejected (2000)





Unedited Footage of a Bear





The Crimson Permanent Assurance

That's it, I promise. 🤓

I've seen 52/100. Great list, a lot of my favorites are on here. Not seen Wavelength. I have seen Mirror of Holland, I remember it having a cool concept, with the shots in the water reflections and the camera upside down and all of that, but still ended up feeling like a chore to get through for me. Maybe a rewatch is due. I've seen Meshes several times, desperately trying to like it, I've also seen a couple other Deren shorts that similarly left me cold. That said, there is at least ten films on this list that I'd go the full on.

Was any Susan Pitt on this list? Rewatched The Doctors (think that's what it was called) last night, and that deserves a mention

I've seen The Asparagus and Joy Street, both of which I liked a good bit but they weren't in contention for this list. I haven't seen The Doctors yet.

The Finishing Line is the one I hinted is similar to Apaches. It was banned for many years, because despite being an educational film, it severely disturbed way too many people.
