Quick note that Lily and Jim by Don Hertzfeldt and Please Say Something by David O'Reilly are better than most of these but are less than 15 minutes. Also Dr. Horrible shows up as a mini series in most places I looked so I'm not counting that but it'd be on here too.

Number of these may be "on the edge" if Harold and Maude is but I'm just going off of IMDb's/letterboxd's tags at this point. Also if you couldn't tell by the quality dip a number of these are just here to get the list as large as possible.

1. Harold and Maude
2. (500) Days of Summer
3. The Princess Bride
4. Safety Not Guaranteed
5. Better Off Dead...
6. High Fidelity
7. Tarzan

It's a Wonderful Life

12. Doctor Zhivago
13. Ali: Fear Eats the Soul
14. Happy Feet
15. Juno
16. Bedazzled
17. Elf
18. Claire's Knee
19. Perks of Being a Wallflower
20. World's Greatest Dad
21. Horse Feathers
22. Moonrise Kingdom
23. Vampire's Kiss

Things I Make

[Mercury]

Lol! The last 20 or so are interesting, Ben. But the list as a whole is very nice. Cast Away I forgot about. The beginning and end where Hanks and Hunt are together are great.

Also, Harold and Maude is very clearly a quirky rom com. No doubt.

ok in the event that I don't get a list up in time (which is entirely likely), here have a top 10 if that's useful

1. La Jetée (Chris Marker)
2. The Magic Flute (Bergman)
3. Vertigo (Hitchcock)
4. The Rules of the Game (Renoir)
5. Freaks (Browning)
6. Chungking Express (Wong Kar-wai)
7. The Cranes Are Flying (Mikhail Kalatozov)
8. The Story of the Last Chrysanthemum (Mizoguchi)
9. Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (Murnau)
10 Whisper of the Heart (Yoshifumi Kondô)

if La Jetée isn't eligible (being a short and all that) then just toss in Jules and Jim at the end there
