Great idea...Broadening the scope to music videos, commercials, etc. realy opens this up for so many possibilites. I hope to contribute a couple of things if possible...
The short films that have meant the most to me over the years include
A Movie
Rose Hobart
La Jetee
Les Maitres Fous
Daybreak Express
Gare du Nord
Toby Dammit
Palm Springs has a fantastic ShortFest.
Check out reviews from this year's offerings.
Read my blogs from during the fest.
Now that I see you do take older posts, here's my contribution of two by Maya Deren:

Hi, Ed, got an old article here about the little short that Cannes
I e-mailed you and Mr. C. Snob, but I thought I'd also alert the universe immediately that my post is up. Thanks for doing this. Great stuff.
This blogathon has been great fun. Thanks!
My favorite post was the one on "What's Opera, Doc". I've been looking at a DVD set that includes that short, and now I really must buy it.
I wonder how many people recognize the still from La Jetée. I imagine there's quite a few, but a great many (in my experience) don't know the film.
Great content, all of it. When's the next short film blogathon?
