Manga & Anime Film Recomendations.

I'm just starting to get back into this again after watch a few episodes of New Dominion Tank Police. Its been such a long time that I can't remember some of the ones I have watched, so I was hoping for a little refresher or even some recommendations of new films in the last 10 years.

It goes with-out saying that Akira, Ghost in the Shell and Patlabor (DVD on order) are obvious choices and I've just got a DVD of Robotech but here are a few I think might be worth looking at -

Castle of Cagliostro : I think I have seen it, but my memory is fuzzy.
Metropolis.
Appleseed : New - some bad reviews, but I liked the sound of the synopsis.
Laputa - Castle in the sky : I think I saw this when I was younger but can't be sure.
Gundam : I think I have seen some of the series but can't recall.
Howls moving castle.
The girl who leapt through time.
Paprika.
Princess Mononoke.
Bubblegum Crisis : I think I remember this being good, but I could be mistaken.
Steam Boy : Another I liked the synopsis, but not sure.

Views, opinions and recommendations would be great.

vampire hunter D
ninja scroll
2 must see manga's

Most of the studio Ghibli stuff is rather good.

try find:
porco rosso
vally of the wind
spirited away

I liked The Wings of Honneamise, it's about the space program in an alternate timeline.

The Dirty Pair OAVs are funny too (I mean the originals, that is, not the Flash remakes) as they go around destroying entire planets in the course of their investigations.

Bubblegum Crisis (again, the originals for me) are indeed good, I love the Blade Runner-inspired setting.

Or you can just get Jiburiru: The Devil Angel and go mmmmm, tentacles.

I'll look up the 'Wings of Honneamise' as that sounds like my kind of thing.

"Spirited Away" sounds familiar... I'll have to look that up.

I liked Hellsing...

And Dragonball Z is amazing

Here's a recommendation for you, go fo a ride instead.

I used to enjoy watching Cowboy Bebop when I was a student and could stay up till 3am weekdays.

+1 on ninja scroll

Battle Angel Alita is also a must see imo

i'd also watch final fantasy advent children, not for the story (based on the game) but for the sheer OTT anime style action scenes (awesome)

Most of Hayao Miyazaki's work. Some really great story telling there.
