A Yugoslavian animation short directed by Dusan Vukotic.
A man goes to the beach and inflates every object, even the pump that he uses to inflate with.
Such style! I had seen this at the end of 9th grade in science class and have been looking for it ever since. The painted background is very nebulous and the "cartoon" style objects are very definite. Traditional anatomy is not considered, as the man is basically a triangle with stick arms and legs. The plot and characters are top-notch according to me. The pacing is very fast, as a whole beach adventure takes place in under 10 minutes.I rate this best. You should definitely check it out if you like weird animation.
In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Fifteen Shorts

A series of short films by Brandon Fulcher.
A simple plot is played out in each film, from fake commercials about alcoholic mouthwash to police detectives killing people.
Oh man, it was weird. All of the shorts are under 5 minutes and they are all different. The style is bizarre and the production value is very low. This is some underground stuff and it's free for anyone to download however they want. I'm rating it adequate because I like the variety. I think the image is of the guy who made the films. Don't persecute me if I'm wrong on that.

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge (1962)

A French fantasy thriller directed by Robert Enrico.
A man is being prepared to be hanged on a bridge, but the noose breaks and he gets away. After running through the woods, he arrives at home and sees his wife.
This was a short film, only about 20 minutes long and was used as an episode of The Twilight Zone. The plot and characters are minimal, but the effect is great. The film is in black and white and extremely lo-fi, but I think that makes it better. I'm rating this awesome.
