What are some of your favorite shorts of all time? Just curious where the bar is with some people. What the general taste is like. You can name some stuff from past fests if you like. :Drogar-Happy(DBG):

Some of my personal all time favorites...

Ticker, Joe Carnahan (For BMW Films)
Can't find a link for this one online, but you can find them around. The film was great, but the director's commentary version was useless. It was essentially like having someone sit beside you telling you what you just saw.
 
I always thought George Lucas in Love was a good one. But that was also pretty timely. It came soon after the "Shakespeare in Love" hit and perfectly blended that movie and the idea of how a young George Lucas came up with his Star Wars ideas while attending U.S.C.
 
I also dig:
Schneider's 2nd Stage
The Big Shave
& any of the Buster Keaton shorts

Edited to Add:
About 7 or 8 of the Paris, je t'aime shorts were damn good.
New York, I Love You had a couple a' three too...

No order, really:

Antoine and Colette by Francois Truffaut: the second part in the Antoine Doinel cycle, following The 400 Blows.

Hotel Chevalier by Wes Anderson: the prologue of sorts to The Darjeeling Limited. It's actually one of Anderson's most mature works to date, I feel.

Life Lessons by Martin Scorsese: his segment from the anthology film New York Stories.

More by Mark Osborne: wonderful stop-animated short shot on 65mm.

Darkness/Light/Darkness by Jan Svankmajer: another awesome stop-animated film.
 
Death to the Tinman by Ray Tintori.

I don't know why exactly, but I've seen that short over 50 times. Everyone I show it to seems kind of let down though.
 
Vincent, by Tim Burton. Stop-motion story of a little boy who thinks he's Vincent Price (narration by V.P himself).

Great stuff. Still one of my top three-favorite Burton films.
