Hand drawn animation would have to be Spirited Away. I adore that movie, it's like if Neil Gaiman was japanese.
On the Computer Generated side of things (AKA Pixar) It's a close thing but it's probably Toy Story 3. Maybe the fact that it had such nostalgia value may have helped it along but watching the last 15 minutes of that movie made me cry more in a film than I have since I was about eleven.

...Hard to say, since I have so many. But off the top of my head...
Spirited Away, Wall-E, How to Train Your Dragon, Treasure Planet, The Emperor's New Groove, Beauty and the Beast, Atlantis: the Lost Empire, Princess Mononoke, Ponyo, TMNT, Mulan, The Simpsons Movie, The Road to El Dorado, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Corpse Bride...

Either Lilo and Stitch or The Incredibles.
Lilo and Stitch because, and you have permission to call me soppy for this, I think it's generally a nice film. Plus the one good sequel it got, Stitch Has A Glitch or something, really hit me.
But since I had a Mr. Incredible avatar for my first 1000 posts, I feel obliged to say The Incredibles.

Mine is ether Halo Legends, Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children or Resident Evil Degeneration.
And would anyone count Tron Legacy? Or no?

I was gonna put The Road to El Dorado or How to Train Your Dragon. So that's my western Catagory.

Princess Mononoke. I saw it first when I was five. I got it on loan from the library my grandmother worked at when I was staying with them, in the good old days of VHS.
It blew me away then, and I still enjoy it to date.
I even prefer it over Spirited Away, which is usually credited as Myiazakis best.

Dammnit, that's like asking me to choose my favorite child... Wait... I don't have children...(hopefully).
OT: Everything from Ghibli except for Howl's Moving Castle, and everything by Pixar. But from the last year or 2: I'd have to say How to Train Your Dragon.

Paprika.
If 'The Watchmen' shows non-comic peeps what a graphic novel is capable of then 'Paprika' does the same for anime. A stunning film with a haunting, beautiful soundtrack that gets me just thinking about it.

There are two Ghibli movies that I would consider my favourites
One is Nausicaa of The Valley of The Wind, I love the visual design in this movie, for 1984, this animation is fucking SPECTACULAR everything is animated beautifully, and its such a wonderful story, it manages something so many films cannot, sending across an environmental message without any flower child bullshit, and I think that's why I love it so much
The second is not a Miyazaki movie, but I prefer it to any of his work, Grave of the Fireflies. This is so beautiful, it is so wonderfully written, and by god, this shit is... Fucking heartbreaking.
Overall, it's the most powerful animated movie, and one of the most powerful anti war films ever made.

You love these kids, you want to see them get through their problems, and seeing them die is both horrific, and, it speaks volumes about the hardships these people went through in the war

Akira.
It's really long and some parts might not have aged too well but by the end of it you're so exhausted from unknowingly sitting on the edge of your seat that you're not sure you can get up to take the DVD out.
Plus the music is pretty cool.
