Outstandingly Entertaining Short Films

These movies are short! Really short! Some are entertaining! Some are outstandingly entertaining! Some are just okay! One's a minute long! It's got no words! Just a guy! He makes gun noises! With his mouth! It's a comment on violence in movies! I think! One of them is 20 minutes long! It's got an alien! He's cute! Until he blows up the world! Another one is five minutes long! Its two characters are feet! They speak in rhyme! One of them shaves! The other wears a facial! Who knew?! One film is in French! But not really! A lot of it's in English! The guy in it smokes! A lot! His ash is really long! He's too lazy to ouvrer la fenêtre! Talk about l'existentialisme! One movie stars Hitler! In a dress! He sings show tunes! He feels pretty! His name is Titler! Clever pun! Eh?! Speaking of Germany: one film was made there! It's good! Probably the best one! It's got a Rube Goldberg contraption! It's complicated! It works! The movie's hand-tinted! Wow! That must have taken a long time! These filmmakers work hard! They don't make much money! Give them some of yours! Go see these films! They're short!
