Dumping links to some of my favorite shorts, feel free to add yours.
> Winner of the Acadamy Award for Best Animated Short Film and Short Film Palme d'Or in 1987, this is a charming animated masterpiece about a man who devotes his life to planting trees.
> Directed by Frederick Back and edited by Norbert Pickering, this is the full English language version translated by Jean Roberts and narrated by Christopher Plummer (the orginal version is in French language narrated by Philippe Noiret).
> Jean Giono, the author of the short story upon which the movie is based, wrote the story after American editors in 1953 asked him to write a few pages about an unforgettable character. They intended him to write about a real unforgettable character, but he created the fictional Elezeard Bouffier. When the editors objected that no Bouffier had died in Banon, he donated the story to all humanity. It was soon after published by Vogue in 1954. Many people have assumed that Bouffier is a real person.

And here's A Computer Animated Hand
> Produced in 1972 it is believed to be the world's first computer-generated 3D animation. It was created by Ed Catmull, one of the founders of Pixar at the University of Utah. It was also one of 25 new additions recently added to the US film archive, short-listed from 2228 films nominated by the public due to its cultural and historical significance. No.2593

Lambert & Co. or Dave Lambert Audition at RCA (1964)
> Dave Lambert had been a hero of mine ever since I left Chicago for New York in the forties, long before he’d begun the famous Lambert, Hendricks and Ross trio, when he was an arranger for Gene Krupa. While we were building a studio on 45th Street for fledgling-film company, Leacock Pennebaker, Bob Van Dyke, our audio genius, introduced me to Dave, and got him to help us finish it. Dave, it turned out, was a first rate carpenter. When it came up that he had an audition at RCA for a new group to record songs he had just written, we went along with him and filmed the session. RCA decided not to go for it, and wiped the tapes, so we stuck our unedited film up on a shelf and left it there.
> Several months later, while helping someone fix a flat on the Merritt Parkway, Dave was hit by a car and killed. A few weeks later, Art D’Lugoff from the Village Gate called and said he’d heard we had a film of Dave and could he show it at the wake. Nick Proferes and I spent that night editing and got him a print the next day. A few days later a reporter from German TV who’d seen it, came around and asked if he could show the film in Germany since Lambert was so well known in Europe. We gave him our print and forgot about it. Then, letters started coming asking where to get the record. But there wasn’t any record, nor would there ever be one. All there was was this fifteen-minute film of a few incomplete rehearsals of songs that otherwise didn’t exist. It hit me that this was really what film should be doing, what I should be doing … recording people and music as a kind of popular history that might otherwise not exist. It was only a few weeks later that Albert Grossman walked into our office and asked if I was interested in making a film about his client, Bob Dylan.

Bass on Titles (1977)
with some moron's watermark on the video
> Bass on Titles provides a rare opportunity to hear Saul Bass' own words, as he describes his most notable work.
> The film explores the title sequences from: The Man with the Golden Arm (1955), West Side Story (1961), Walk on the Wild Side (1962), It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963), Seconds (1966). Bass also provides fascinating insight into some of his lesser known titles: Grand Prix (1966), Nine Hours to Rama (1963), The Victors (1963), In Harm's Way (1965), The Big Country (1958).

The Tell Tale Heart (1953)
narrated by James Mason
> "The first animated short film to be rated X by the British Film Board of Censors."
> One of the most discussed and imaginative cartoons of any era. It tells the famous Edgar Allan Poe story of the deranged boarder who had to kill his landlord, not for greed, but because he possessed an "evil eye." The killer is never seen but his presence is felt by the use light-and-shadow to give the impression of impending disaster. According to UPA, the art style was derived from Eugene Berman, scenic designer and ballet designer of NYC's Metropolitan Opera. Written by Les Adams

Since this thread seems to do with animation here's the earliest known animated film made in 1908.
..and it's only a few hundred kilobytes too large to download from youtube as a webm and post here. I'm always on the verge of editing and uploading webms but I don't know if the admin will eventually increase the allowable filesize. So for now I'll add this to my list of webms to make in the future.

High Steel (1965)

Take a trip to dizzying heights with this stunning documentary following the Mohawk Indians of Kahnawake who work in Manhattan erecting the steel frames of skyscrapers. The Mohawks also relate stories from their quieter community life on the Kahnawake Reserve in Quebec. https://www.nfb.ca/film/high_steel/ No.2641

It's marketed as a comedy but I don't see it as one at all.
It was directed by Alan Resnick, who does a lot of awkward "comedy" stuff in a similar vein to Tim & Eric, although ultimately he comes off more to me like a performance artist, and a very fucking brilliant one at that.
I look at this as a film about the overuse of drugs or other bad habits as a means to escape the realities of responsibility, death, thinking unpleasant thoughts, dreams that could never be achieved, so on. Lots and lots of interesting subtext, especially for a short film only 10 minutes long
