Hilltop (1971) *****
"I'D Like To Buy The World A Coke". Probably the most iconic TV commercial of all times, immortalized at the end of "Mad Men" as the payoff for the entire series.
Schick After Shave (1971) ***
Quite a rarity - a genuine Maoist commercial. An actual advertisement for Schick After Shave, directed by the Dziga Vertov Group (Jean-Luc Godard et Jean-Pierre Gorin).
Apel (1971) ****
Superbly directed film set in a Nazi concentration camp. An allegory about repression, rebellion and surrender. Directed by Ryszard Czekala.

Signor Rossi goes to Africa and wants to photograph wild beasts. Unfortunately, other tourists have more violent hobbies. Directed by Bruno Bozzetto.

A British cartoon, adapted from a fairy tale by Oscar Wilde, about a mean giant who forbids children from entering his garden.
Battle Of Kerjents (1971) ***
Directed by Ivan Ivanov-Vano and Yuri Norstein. Based on the 1907 opera of Rimsky-Korsakov and visually inspired by the Russian icon paintings, it's a spectacular cartoon about a medieval battle.
Synchromy (1971) ***
A visual representation of the soundtrack. This cartoon by Norman McLaren might have been inspired by the intermission from "Fantasia" (1940).
The Crunch Bird (1971) **
The shortest film ever to win an Oscar (barely over 2 min). A one-joke idea.
Jabberwocky (1971) **
Bizarrely narrated puppet animation film about dolls, toy soldiers and other objects. Directed by Jan Svankmejer.
