these

and also

metropolis
the girl who leapt through time
wolf children ame and yuki
akira
jin-roh: the wolf brigade

blood: the last vampire is pretty good as well but it's a short film and really you only watch it for the visuals, it's all style no substance

i've heard redline is good as well, but again, all style no substance. huge emphasis on style here, it's absolutely gorgeous.

you might like the afro samurai movies, although i thought they were only fairly decent. the second one is particularly a bit disappointing, and in general they are once again pretty much all style no substance. but the first one is definitely at least enjoyable to watch once.

but yeah watch all of the best miyazaki films as well. these include spirited away, kiki's delivery service, princess mononoke, castle in the sky (aka laputa), my neighbor totoro, lupin iii: castle of cogliostro (you don't have to be a lupin fan to enjoy this movie i assure you), nausicaa of the valley of the wind, and whisper of the heart

maybe howl's moving castle too but it's really overrated imo

maybe porco rosso and the cat returns too but i haven't seen them

also notable is a ghibli production that was not directed by miyazaki: grave of the fireflies

a recommendation i forgot: Cat Soup

it is a short 30-minute film that is basically a surreal drug trip about a cat trying to get his sister's soul back

i hated akira when i watched it lol

redline is what an f-zero movie would be if one existed. it was good but be prepared for a bullshit ending

i recently watched vampire hunter d: bloodlust and it was pretty neat. i for some reason only had the dub downloaded and the voice acting was pretty goddamn cheesy but everything else was highly enjoyable.
