Not my absolute favorite, but it's new and very well done!

Amazing short. Heavily inspired by Orwell's 1984, but extremely well done.

Tough question, honestly. Don't know if it's the right way to put it, but I'm a fan of reflective movies that aren't afraid to take the "slow pacing and creative imagery" route (considered boring by some).
I'm also a sucker for "what if" movies (Horror, Sci Fi, Drama, Thriller, Animation... doesn't matter).
This doesn't mean that I don't like action, but a few example of what I'm talking about would be:
Moon (2009)
Into the Wild (2007)
127 Hours (2010)
The Man from Earth (2007)
Cast Away (2000)
Pandorum (2009)
John Carpenter's "The Thing" (1982)
Satoshi Kon's "Paprika"
Howl's Moving Castle (2004)
Mary and Max (2009)
Memoirs of a Geisha (2005)
Apocalypto (2006)
The list goes on, but I think I went far enough :)
I hope I made myself clear. [Unfortunately, I'm not good at being synthetic :( ]

My tastes in short films tend to lean towards the dark, surreal side. Here is an example of one that I can remember.

Memoir, if you enjoy short films, I'll make sure to post my short documentary here when I finish the subtitles (the documentary is in portuguese).
If you enjoy short films, you should check this website out: http://www.shortoftheweek.com/
I've never seen an average or bad short film on that website. They're always superb!

I made this short film last year with some friends from University and we got two awards for it.
Tell me what you think of it!

Ever heard of the animation school Gobelins? They make some kick-ass shorts. I could spend an entire day watching them.
Trois Petits Points
Smoke My Christmas
Jean Luc
Here are also some shorts commissioned by AIDES (French made world-wide campaign against AIDS) that are strictly made for mature audiences. There are others but they're hidden deep within their website.
Smutley
Fingers (I could've spared you from this one)
Sugar Baby Love
Bathroom Grafitti
And here are some others (These are not french, I promise.) that are quite generic and some being utterly disturbing.
Office Black Hole
Meow
username:666
POKOPOKOPIKOTAN
Cat Soup (Short Movie)
Youtube is my Life

Yes, you're right. They're also a gallery, I'm sure. I don't know why I called it a studio, probably out of manner.

Another couple of animations, perhaps less dark than the last one.

"The External World" was hilarious, with a sprinkle of satire. I have a feeling I missed a serious message somewhere, but I was too overtaken by the randomness :).
"Please Say Something" was unexpectedly nice after a few minutes of plot development (the parts I could figure out, at least). Some transitions were also very creative.
I like your taste

I was fascinated by the style (and overall integrity) of this one when I first saw it: 'Gates of Heaven'.
I also very much liked 'The Periwig Maker' (Annette and Steffen Schaffer).
Such craftsmanship, too. How they combine puppetry and candle flame in a single frame, ah.
And then there's 'The Fall' by Aurel Klimt.
(Oh, that heart-rending finale.)
'The Monk and the Fish' has got something natural about it. And... well, it's got humour, too.
I guess I shouldn't be bothering to mention the stellar 'The Hedgehog in the Fog', should I? )
Comment has been collapsed.
I like the style of *Gates of Heaven.
As for The Periwig Maker, I didn't quite get it, but it's still very well done.
I was extremely creeped out by the scene at 6:37 of The Fall.
Finally, The Monk and the Fish inspired me to make something in Minecraft.

Few shorts can rival Yuriy Norshteyn's genius. Especially Сказка сказок.
(Hedgehod in the Fog has already been mentioned but all of Norshteyn's films deserve a watch.)

The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon - epic, ridiculous and hilarious

Two of my favorites were the short, The German and the CG short, Oracle. I loved the storytelling of these two. I also used to make CG design and concept animations, mostly for fun. Here is the latest, the Anshara™ Concept CG Animation. Maybe its not a professional CG concept animation, but I hope you'll like it. I made this for the fans of my epic fantasy book franchise, so they may see one of the world's flying crafts in its true shape.

If you liked Oracle, here's one more; World Builder. And another, Carousel. The last one is actually a Philips commercial, but it's a good short film as well.

The lotus Flowers
This is a short film I discovered years ago and only recently found again
Also since no one seems to have posted it yet

A steampunk short comedy
Also I have to ask, what scripting language was used for these comment boxes? I can't figure out how to make a link and in order for me to get a sentence on the next line I need to tap next line twice?

I'm a filmmaker myself, and I really enjoy watching short films. Here's an amazing animation short film I just saw:
Animation: Night Light
Does anyone have a specific favourite short film? If you have several, list them all! :)
