There's a 1998 documentary called A too.

There's this film:
http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0070622/

Technically the title was "Sssssss", but it was supposed to be spoken out loud as a hissing noise, so technically it doesn't have any letters at all. It's a noise!

And Derek Jarman's "Blue" was a colour. To get shorter than one single letter you have to think laterally, or find a film that doesn't have a title at all. And in fact there are lots of films that don't have a title, and there was "(Untitled)":

There are many more shorts, some with more unusual titles like Æ (2008) and @ (1979). No, I haven't seen most of these.

Well it's possible for more than one thing to tie for the same record.
