The trick is not minding
A bunch of shorts leaving criterion, specifically films by Alice Guy-Blache. Working my way through them.
Night on Bald Mountain looks very interesting, so I’ll get to that soon as well



So far, these are the only ones I've seen...



But the whole list should be a great lead for most of us to follow. Thanks for doing it!
Out of curiosity, how would you rank those shorts?



Oh man, I would need to give the Loonie Tunes' ones a spin cause it's been a while, but I do remember loving all of those. I did revisit What's Opera, Doc? recently and wrote something, which you can read here.

As for the others, probably something like this...

88) A Trip to the Moon (1902, Georges Méliès)
67) One Week (1920, Buster Keaton and Edward F. Cline)
81) A Dog's Life (1918, Charlie Chaplin)
59) Thunder Road (2016, Jim Cummings)
64) The Dream of a Ridiculous Man (1992, Aleksandr Petrov)
51) Scorpio Rising (1964, Kenneth Anger)

Fun fact! Lamorisse is the only person ever to have received an academy award for a short film for best writing, specifically for this film.



Definitely an interesting one. Maddin's visual style is very unique and memorable. Here is my review of it.
