Nr. 5: The Great Train Robbery (1903)
Genre: Western
The first western ever made, it simply shows how a usual train robbery works, without any kind of side plot. The interesting thing here is that it reflects the reality from when it was made.

Nr. 4: Validation (2007)
Genre: Comedy, Romance
Over a hundred years later this short was made. It's a very optimistic and consciously a little cheesy story about a man that offers free compliments to anybody.

Nr. 2: Meshes in the Afternoon (1943)
Genre: Mystery, Experimental, (Horror)
A experimental mystery short. I don't know what to say about it, just watch it yourself. The man with the mirror-face is one of the creepiest characters ever.
