Let's start a top 5
Top 5 Anime Movies/Series You Personally Recommend
1) Karas (6 part movie series/2 part american version)
2) Blood+ (Series)
3) Hellsing
4) Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood (Series, far different than the original... quite a bit more true to the Manga)
5) Trinity Blood (Series, not everyone loves this but some of the religious undertones are fantastic similar to priest in some ways)

1.) Berserk
2.) Paranoia Agent
3.) El-Hazard
4.) Samurai X/Rurouni Kenshin (OVAs for more serious and violent tone, anime is different, but good)
5.) X (both the movie and the series)
personal faves though i could go on and on (was so tempted to put fist of the north star due to it's sheer cheesy and ott violence and manliness)

Series
1. Tengen Toppen Gurren Lagann
2. Neon Genesis Evangelion
3. Tokyo Tribe 2
4. Genshiken
5. Cromartie High School
Honorable mention goes to the Battle Angel OVA, but it doesn't even get close to doing the manga justice.
I'm in the process of watching Black Lagoon, it might end up replacing something on there.
Movies
1. End of Evangelion
2. Perfect Blue
3. Ghost in The Shell 1
4. Princess Mononoke
5. The Animatrix

I saw a bit of it, it's not nearly as good as the title would have you believe. Upskirts, etc all over the damn place. Best anime from the past year I've seen are Durarara, K-On!!, and Panty & Stocking.
