jiraffejustin's Top 50 Short Films of All-Time
50. The Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/c...60815872_n.png Kenneth Anger / 1954 Anger is a truly unique figure in the history of cinema. He quite possibly invented the music video, though no music video was ever quite as daring as his films. He created bizarre and intriguing imagery, he took risks with his films both artistic and literally as he may have been the first person to release a film with dudes doing gay sh*t in it. 49. Unofficial Reality https://i.imgur.com/1NSX7Oc.png Vince Collins / 2005 I put two Vince Collins films on this list, but they couldn't have a bigger gap in art style difference. This one is one of Vince Collins' late career "f*ck around with some sh*tty computer animation" phase films, I guess early-late career phase as he is stilling doing this stupid stuff. 48. Red Hot Riding Hood https://s3.amazonaws.com/intanibase/...43/3422/20.jpg Tex Avery / 1943 This mf wolf finna get cancelled. 47. The Band Concert https://d23.com/app/uploads/2020/02/...nd-concert.jpg Wilfred Jackson / 1935 I used to think Mickey Mouse sucked cause he was overexposed and got the crappy modernized treatments over and over again, but back in the day, Mickey was actually in good cartoons. 46. what's Opera, Doc? https://img.apmcdn.org/baf79fe0625ba...-opera-doc.jpg Chuck Jones / 1957 I just really love golden age cartoons. So much creativity. There's a level of care and effort put into entertainment geared towards children that eroded as art died and algorithms took over. |

45. Darkness, Light, Darkness https://lalunademelies.files.wordpre...1/lldm-dld.png Jan Svankmajer / 1989 Svankmajer was a master and this was his tribute to the male body. 44. One Froggy Evening https://i.pinimg.com/originals/24/d8...8005e793ed.jpg Chuck Jones / 1955 Hello my baby hello my honey hello my ragtime gal 43. The Man Who Planted Trees https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/c...g?format=1000w Frederic Back / 1987 Animation as serious art, gorgeous, emotional, and flowing like a river 42. Porky in Wackyland http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lYnv6UIUHI...t+19.38.48.png Bob Clampett / 1938 Animation as absurdist art, goofy, silly, and as wacky as the title suggests 41. Window Water Baby Moving https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/c...e=image%2Fjpeg Stan Brakhage / 1959 Brakhage was a master and this was his tribute to the female body. |

It's another top Looney Tunes cartoon. :up: |
40. The Immigrant https://centuryfilmproject.files.wor...immigrant5.jpg Charlie Chaplin / 1917 My favorite Chaplin short of the ones I've seen. Consider this representing Charlie Chaplin shorts in general. 39. Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century https://nerdist.com/wp-content/uploa...ck-Dodgers.jpg Chuck Jones / 1953 Some of my favorite Looney Tune gags mixed with some social commentary on the arms race. 38. Stigma https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--qRZPNWqB...00/stigma5.jpg Lawrence Gordon Clark / 1977 I need to see more Lawrence Gordon Clark shorts. I've seen two (I think) and I think both are great, but Stigma stuck with me more as it was nastier than The Signalman. If I decide to do honorable mentions, I'll include The Signalman. 37. Asparagus https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/c...aragusdown.jpg Suzan Pitt / 1979 Glorious animation. Something about female sexuality or something. 36. Duck Amuck https://offscreen.com/images/made/im..._420_90_c1.jpg Chuck Jones / 1953 The high point of the Bugs vs. Daffy rivalry. An all-time classic. |
35. Street of Crocodiles https://entertainment.time.com/wp-co...les3.jpg?w=600 Stephen and Timothy Quay / 1986 Creepy stop-motion spookies. 34. Scorpio Rising https://facets.org/blog/wp-content/u...pio-Rising.jpg Kenneth Anger / 1963 Anger chose great music 33. The Grandmother https://shots.filmschoolrejects.com/...er-768x576.png David Lynch / 1970 The inspiration for the new Minecraft update where you can plant and grow grandmothers 32. It's Such a Beautiful Day https://assets.mubicdn.net/images/no...png?1349324305 Don Hertzfeldt / 2011 Expect more Hertzfeldt. The Bill trilogy is one of my all-time favorite trilogies. 31. Swing You Sinners! http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pamrzcAUtO...imehascome.jpg Dave Fleischer / 1930 spookier scarier skeletoner |
30. The Terrys https://static3.srcdn.com/wordpress/...&h=500&dpr=1.5 Tim & Eric / 2011 F*ck you 29. Piper https://cinefilesreviews.files.wordp...ated-short.jpg Alan Barillaro / 2016 totes adorbs. The culmination of Pixar. 28. The Mad Doctor https://i0.wp.com/popcultureretroram...g?w=1200&ssl=1 David Hand / 1933 Disney getting terrifying. 27. The Hand https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pr...pR62v4u7Ll_CSw Jiri Trnka / 1965 A movie about how communist governments suck 26. The Wrong Trousers https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/-gd4...4233.303.0.png Nick Park / 1993 representing the Wallace and Gromit series. |

Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century and Duck Amuck are my two favorite Looney Tunes cartoons. IMO, they should be much higher on the list. |

Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory https://a.ltrbxd.com/resized/sm/uplo...g?k=97da1cf01e Louis Lumière / 1895 23.
