Nearly all of Miyazaki's stuff (Castle in the Sky is a fond favorite behind all the ones already mentioned here!) and I really must second Vampire Hunter D (both the first one and blood lust). Just epic stuff right there. Who can resist a dhampire with a talking hand? Not I!
Your favorite anime movie.

Hmm, haven't seen Index yet, but I'm glad you're enjoying F/SN. If you made it past the first two episodes (which are pretty damn slow), you'll probably enjoy the rest of the show, it has pretty consistently well timed points of rising and falling action as it goes through the arcs. The mischaracterization of Shirou is really the show's greatest sin. They never really get around to properly explaining just WHY he is the way he is, which the novel focuses on extensively. Of course, you need to understand that to appreciate the character changes during the next two arcs.Imperator_DK said:
And Takeuchi's character designs lose a little bit in translation sadly, but it could be worse. The thing that is worse is Mancueid. If you don't know what that is, that's a good thing.
Oh, and about the action, the VNs music and Nasu's narration style are extremely good at keeping up tension. They use some of the music in the anime, but it's not as noticeable.
One last thing, get the voiced version of the game that you can install with the Mirror Moon patch, the actors do a REALLY good job. You need a disc .iso of Realta Nua for that.
Watch Rebuild 2.22 then! It's even better!TeeBs said:
OT: Rebuild of Evangelion 2.22 of course!
Ghibli... just... Ghibli.
But also:
Ninja Scroll
Street Fighter Alpha
Macross Plus
hm... That'll do it. Those really are right up there on my favourites-list with most of Ghibli's work. Hayao Miyazaki's in particular.

Ghost In The Shell for the newest ideas to be brought up in an anime film for me, and being amongst the first anime flick I saw.
End of Evangelion for how memorable the scenes were, and a really cool execution
Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade for how much I cared about the characters.

I'm actually a big fan of Ghibli's lesser-known Porco Rosso. The English version has some spotty dubbing here and there, but it's a really beautiful story and quasi-period piece that walks the line between surrealism and romanticism.
Ghibli is the only form of anime I'm willing to stomach, with the occasional exception of things with giant mecha in them.

I'm a little surprised that no one has mentioned Akira yet.
Personally,I've got a mixed bag for this.
Jin-Roh
End of Evangelion - Takes a lot of the mindfrag out of the end of the series.
Akira
Ghost in the Shell
Ninja Scroll
Perfect Blue
Princess Mononoke

I've only seen three: Spirited away, My neighbour Totoro and the Clannad movie.
I think I like Spirited away the most; but I was a bit too young when I watched it, so I didn't quite get it at the time, and I don't remember too much from it.
The Clannad movie is definitely the worst. It was fairly okay by itself, but I had already seen the Kyoani series, so compared to Clannad and Clannad after story's shining brilliance it was just comical.

Anything by Satoshi Kon. Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers, I just can't choose.
redline, patlabor 1 and 2, akira, ninja scroll, both ghost in the shell films, jin-roh, and the castle of cagliostro
