I am a big fan of Hayao Miyazaki. My favorites of the ones that he has done are Porco Rosso, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Spirited Away, and Howl's Moving Castle. And I watch them once dubed and once with subtitles, that way atleast once I spend the whole time looking at just the artwork. Not a Miyazaki movie but my other two favorites would have to be Metropolis, and the CLASSIC Akira. And as to why I like them, well watch them and maybe you'll figure it out.

Wizards was great stuff. I saw it for the first time at Boskone 15 and no, I won't tell you what year it was. Figure it out yourself.

How's about a few older Bakshi gems like Fritz the Cat or Heavy Traffic?

And did anyone even mention Ren and Stimpy?

The more I get to know people the more I like my dogs.

Oh so many to choose from....

Transformers The Movie: I grew up with Transformers and I still remember crying when I saw this the first time. I mean, how could Optimus die!!

Do You Remember Love?: OMGZ, I am a HUGE Macross fan. Imagine my delight when I discovered a movie. Great action and animation for a movie that was released in 1984.

Macross Plus: Did I mention that I'm a Macross fan? This is still one of the most exciting animes I've seen. It's over 10 years old and the animation is still top notch.

That would be my Top 3 I suppose.

Cybersnark & QueenoftheNorth--
Here's a good website that gives you more info. about Samurai 7
http://www.samurai7.tv/
We have the first three epidsodes--according to this site--there are 26 episodes total.
I really like this anime.However I enjoy Gilgamesh best of all. My husband is the huge anime fan and therefore we have quite an arsenal. The ones I listed are the ones I enjoy most recently.
Anyway--this site listed will explain the story. I truly hope you enjoy!
Cheers!

Hardware--
How did I forget Ren & Stimpy! This is my favorite all time televised cartoon. Shiny!
I loved the 'Stinky' episode--so very crass & also 'Powdered Toast Man'--so ridiculous--hehehe.

My Dad loved that movie, and I loved watching it with him, so it's on my list. I used to cry at the same scene, now I cry variously thru the whole thing, (except the funny parts) because I miss my Dad.

One of the things I treasure most is the memory of my father, when I was very young, telling me that there was no shame in crying honest tears. Wise man, my Dad.

As for animated films, anything by Miyazaki, but expecially Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind; I first discovered this film in a badly cut (though reasonably well-dubbed) version cobbled together by Roger Corman's studio and retitled Warriors of The Wind; despite having more than twenty minutes cut, including some serious exposition, it still held up. My wife and I bought a two-dollar bargain videotape of the Corman version nearly fifteen years ago, when Anime was still scarce in the U.S. We then went to a party, with the result that it was after midnight by the time we got home; I only put the tape in to see if it would play well. (It was awfully lightweight, as bargain-basement tapes often are.)

It was after two in the morning before we got to sleep. We kept hoping to find a dull spot so we could rest. No such luck. Thanks, Miyazaki-San.

Huh. Judging by the pattern of the covers, it looks like there'll be seven DVD releases (one for each samurai).

Great. This is why I hate collecting full series.

Ooh, animated films!
This brings back memories. Of when I had time to actually watch them.

My favorites would have to be the Inuyasha movies. I was so completely engrossed in them when I managed to get my hands on them. And I utterly adore the movies directed by Hayao Miyazaki. I think that man is a genius!
Princess Monoke would have to be at the top of my list- the storyline was just so involving and the animation was asolutely amazing, especially when you consider the year it was released in. Following as a close second would have to be Spirited Away- I feel like I'm in a dream when I watch that movie( which I have done about fifty times... ).
The latest one, Howl's Moving Castle, is not as good as the others, and the ending does come across as a little too sugary, but it does manage to leave me with a warm, fuzzy feeling inside,like eating alot of hot fudge-cake.
Mmmm... Fudge-cake...
Also, the Animatrix movies just left me wide-eyed with wonder. Although I found the ending of the original Matrix trilogy kind of disappointing, these short movies managed to recapture that spark of awesomeness that I saw in the first movie of the Matrix. I loved every single one of them and I wish they'd make more!!

Another personal favorite would have to be Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. That movie actually did justice to the Batman series. There was drama, tragedy, real character development, and an ending that left me all choked-up inside.

But first it'll piss you off.
