life is a single skip for joy

I wrote as many as would fill the poll - most of the ones I recced are classic Hollywood, because I figure you're less likely to have seen them and a lot of them are relatively short (90 minutes or so). Also, even if you don't get to it before the end of the year, you NEED TO SEE Prince Achmed. It's a silent stop-motion animated film from Germany, using black paper cut-outs against a colored background. It's the first (known) animated feature-length film, it's absolutely beautiful, and it puts all those Disney classics to shame.
