I always liked short films, recently I started watching the Omeleto channel on YouTube. Omeleto is a channel that promotes professionally quality short films, frequently with well-known actors.
One thing I really love about short films is they tend to be far more unpredictable than Hollywood movies which tend to follow the same old scripts time and time again.
Here's five I really liked
The Gunslinger
Without a doubt, the most popular and well known short film on Omeleto and one of my favorites. Narrated by Nick Offerman this film expertly crafts and plays out the ultimate standoff.
Stealing Silver
Starting Maisie Williams from Game of Thrones, this short film is an emotional discovery of a mysterious old man while going through a rough time in her life.
Lazy Boy
A man purchases a recliner at a yard sale that turns out to be a one-minute time machine.
Death In Bloom
A strange film where a salesman who sells custom death experiences negotiates death with a picky customer.
1500 Words
A man diagnosed by his doctor with only 1,500 words left until death. He is forced to live the rest of his days with a limited vocabulary.
