No need for long dialogue nor crazy scientists to make a great sci-fi flick. This one's got all the robots, aliens, and explosions you'll need - plus a killer soundtrack.

Diez Minutos (Ten Minutes)
A short film about a call center agent and her desperate customer. Pulls some heartstrings. Also made me think about the info we willingly give up to a stranger's picking.
Notably: Won the Goya Award for Best Fictional Short Film in 2004. (LMGTFY)

Mamá
Mamá is among the creepiest things I've seen so far. (And to think- it's only 3 minutes long!) Not watching that any time again soon.
Interestingly, this inspired the mainstream director Guillermo del Toro to make it into a full feature film, too.

Lo Que Haría (What Would I Do)
This short film is about a woman who is talking about her fictitious life to a telemarketer on the phone.
Would you make up a story for a stranger to believe you are someone else? I think I would, if my heart couldn't take it too.

Luminaris
An amazing short that got nominated for best short film at the 2011 Oscars.
I just love the premise, the movement, the music, the plot. Great use of stop motion animation. Simply beautiful.
