I've never had a chance to see many short films, but while in college our town hosted the Kudzu Film Festival, and there were a few movies that stuck out to me.
12 Stop on the Road to Nowhere (absolutely hysterical)
Peep Show (I think this was the title)
There was also an incrediblity bizarre movie about a family

Isn't this short basically a collage of pictures? I've been interested in seeing this one as it was the inspiration or basis for 12 monkeys.

Yep, all stills, except for one scene. I think it's pretty cool. It's available on one of those Shorts DVD compilations.

Also, I'm surprised no one has mentioned the classic Bambi meets Godzilla yet. That's got to be my second favorite. Also, a number of the Bill Plympton animated shorts are hilarious.

Not a favorite by any stretch, but I will never forget a short called Cutting Moments. Now that, is gruesomeness.

Gravity
Very cute "educational film" about the Gravity shortage. They show it every year at the 24 hour Science Fiction marathon here in Columbus.
If anyone knows where to find it on other media (vhs, online), let me know.
I also always liked 12:01 PM. It has the same premise as Groundhog Day but is more intense.
