Ah Chrisisall! We share so very many obsessions! Practically every one of your favorites is on my shelf. They used to be shamefully hidden behind the 'adult' movies (no not that kind of adult! I meant things like Schindler's List and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest etc!) but then I grew up and proudly announced my love of cartoonishness to the world and have since managed to convince a few people of the true value of these films. I find Return of the Joker particularly useful in this regard. Brilliant film!
Of course since shows like Simpsons and South Park it is easier to get most people to accept animation as for adults. Even Disney movies are so much more sophisticated nowadays. My favorite Disney is Tarzan (what can I say, he's hot!). Try comparing that to, say, Snow White or The Fox and the Hound (I have a young niece. These films get repeated painfully often at my house) and you'll see how far mainstream animation has come. I'm not talking about anime. That's a whole other genre I've never really gotten into until recently.

I saw that one at the cinema and LOVED it.
Oh dear. Now look what you've made me do. I just had to go to Amazon.com and buy it now that you've recalled it to mind. Should be a fun weekend ahead of me!

Everyone posted so many great shows that I want to watch over and over. Ones I do watch over and over (merely because i have access to them) are Princess Mononoke, anything Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X related, and Sam Kieths The Maxx. Others not posted but must see: Samurai 7, Animatrix, Berserk, Gunslinger Girl, Gungrave, and Samurai Champloo.
Gots mad skillz, loves playing with matches.

Of those I've just seen Princess Mononoke and Aimatrix.
Okay, just starting to get into Anime.
What would you experienced professionals suggest as my next film?
