Letter and Number based films

Below are two videos which I find totally and completely mezmerizing and exciting in the way familiar works are reimagined.  They are short animations that ask you to guess the titles of films based on audio and visual cues.  Additionally it speaks to the iconography of classic films and how little you need to alert a fan to the specific piece. Take a look at the them and let me know if you can guess what movies are being referenced!  I was able to get most of them and will post in the comments sections.

The first one is number-based film titles from 1-13.   The second video is an alphabetical order of films from A-Z.

Enjoy!
