The Secret World of Arrietty 2010
Not heavy on plot but very pretty. The tiny world is gorgeous and full of carefully rendered details (The sticky tape climbing equipment! The textured wallpaper! The gold-equipped kitchen!)

The Letter Room 2020
A short film about the power of letters, love, and loneliness in the sad walls of a prison.

The supporting cast, especially Alia Shawkat, is memorable with one or two short appearances each.
