Minute-Long Movie Megaplex

Sci-fi and horror classics get re-cut for the modern attention span

Last weekend’s Oscars doled out a few goldies for Best Short Film, but for the Best Really Really Short Film check out the upcoming Jameson Empire Awards. With no 2009 leading roles by Tom Cruise to sweep top honors for shortness, though, this year’s prize is instead open to one-minute fan-made send-ups of popular flicks. Thousands of “Done in 60 Seconds” submissions have been whittled down to 20, and voting is now open for the public to choose five finalists. Check out our picks for the smart money below, and cast your vote before tomorrow.
