What are the best Anime movies you know?

I love the classics, Akira beats all.

I used to follow the award winning Anime movies, there was one i liked:
* Blood, The Last Vampire (Swords+Blood)
trailer: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=tYnciEGup9k
Well it has allot of blood (i love that), was really well drawn and mounted from photography. But the story had some childish concepts, i would give credit for it since it's an anime, if it didn't had that much blood, i don't think it's quite appropriated for children.

Then i lost contact and didn't watch anime for long time, and then again tried to get my old habit of following the awarded ones. I saw a really good one, very well drawn:
* Grave of the Fireflies (Japan WWII)
trailer: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=9_KCRIDbEXM

Then i tried to follow some more and had a tip:
* Howls Moving Castle (fantasy+princess+witches+kingdom)
trailer: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=9hbntEofuT0
-First let me tell you, dubbed trailer, dubbed movie? haha I've pity on you, I've watch the original one, get subtitles.
-Second, never mind, the movie is so bloody fantasy, which would be great if it didn't had a deep childish love story in the middle. Do you know how they ruined a perfectly good aviation movie like Pearl Harbor with a love story in between? Imagine it 10x worse and it will ruin the fantasy of the movie.
-Third, the plot is actually very small, it tries to establish relatedness with people around the prime character, something happens and bang! cursed with no excuse. Not fair! The rest i can't tell but it is really very small.
-Forth, so much animation and imagination and they can't make better drawings? Even Akira was better in that matter, if you want indisputable award make better drawings for your mother's sake.
-Fifth, well, moving beyond the plot and other blown skill, this movie actually has great environment. As in, everything is well portrayed to the thinnest detail, this is really rare in common anime, and probably worth the award

Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away and Galaxy Express 999 were all quite enjoyable

The gundam series can be good if you're just looking for giant robots blowing shit up. It also makes for a fun drinking game, every time you see the same explosion used again you drink. Boo yah!

Ah, girls, don't think girls are angels, they are the worse devils on earth. Get some action out of them, they really love it.
