Explanations are dangerous! This is a mix of two personal favorites that are totally mainstream; three short films that I have enjoyed rewatching much more than expected over the last decade and have found it easy to share with people, both because of their brevity and how good they are; a previously unknown-to-me best-of-last-decade-rep-viewing film that reminded me that showing up can, on a good day, yield the completely unexpected yet essential; a short that you literally have to see on celluloid in a theater for it to work at all, thereby allowing me to be once again annoying about the "digital changeover"; a TV movie (people love TV); a classic Hollywood suggestion for further exploration (one); and a slow-cinema classic that seems to be getting lost in the shuffle.
