Top 5 Animated Shorts?

Aside from the obvious greats (warner bros, fleischer, etc.)what are your 5 favorite independently animated shorts? heres my picks:
1.Your Face by Bill Plympton- a pure psychadelic classic, your face features the bust of a man whos face (and entire head for that matter) is constantly shifting and contorting into strange positions. the definitive idependent short in my opinion.
2.Bambi Meets Godzilla by Marv Newland- if you've never seen this one, i won't spoil it for you. but i will say that simplicity is the key to this short masterpiece.
3.The Spirit of Christmas by Trey Parker and Matt Stone- before they were pop culture icons, matt and trey made this delightfully filthy holiday showdown featuring not only an epic battle between santa clause and jesus christ, but also a first glimpse at the four boys we all know and love.
4.Creature Comforts by Nick Park- as simple as the concept for this short is, the process of making it was long and tedious due to the fact that its completely stop animated clay models.
5.Frog Baseball by Mike Judge- if you've seen beavis and butthead, you know the gist of this one. those boys are just hilarious is all.
 
I like those a lot. As for others I really like both Don Hertzfeldt's Genre and Rejected. His 3 interstitials from The Animation Show are great too.
