    Best 7 short films you can watch on YouTube

    What's the story

    Short films are interesting pieces of art.

    They usually deal with one topic, and stretch it to a maximum an hour or so, including credits.

    The makers either give it a befitting finale or keep the end loose.

    On YouTube, you'll find many such engaging and thought provoking shorts that will make you press the 'replay' button.

    Here are the best 7 ones.

    Number 1

    'The Route V50': A short headlined by Robert Downey Jr.

    Trust Robert Downey Jr., and he'll never fail to impress you.

    This 2004 film lasting some 12.31-mins deals with a man, stranded in a desert town, looking for "confidence."

    The town is populated by multiple versions of himself, making it a RDJ-loaded film.

    It keeps you hooked till the end, at which stage, you realize it's an extended commercial for Swedish car-maker, Volvo.

    Wow!

    'Oppressed Majority': Might be exaggerated, but a good watch

    Within a week of hitting YouTube, this French film (with English subtitles) got watched over 2.3mn times.

    Oppressed Majority shows a man's routine in an unnamed French town, where women are in-charge.

    So, in a role-reversal, he faces everyday sexism, and it culminates when he's raped at knifepoint.

    You may feel it's exaggerated, but we surely need such feminist films to make a statement.

    What he finds there forms the real twist in the plot, so no spoilers here!

    The shortest film ever to be nominated for an Oscar, Fresh Guacamole lost its Best Animated Short Film award of the 85th Oscars to Paperman.

    'Road Rage' details how anger on street ends up disastrously

    Starring Japanese-American actress Keiko Agena, known for Gilmore Girls and 13 Reasons Why, in lead, Road Rage details how anger on the streets can result into something disastrous.

    Agena's character has a knack to show the middle finger and abusing whenever she's stuck in traffic, and she gets paid heavily for this.

    The end may seem like an blown-up one, but it's gripping nonetheless.
