End of Evangelion
Angel's Egg
Whisper of the Heart
Grave of the Fireflies
Spirited Away
Princess Mononoke

As you can see, I have somewhat of a fondness for Miyazaki. However, I just began exploring Satoshi on (all I've watched is his impossibly brilliant series "Paranoia Agent") so this could likely change

Satoshi Kon is my favorite. I also like Miyazaki - I respect his talent and enjoy his work (Mononoke, Nausicaa, Spirited Away), I just am not interested in movies for children. Hideaki Anno's Evangelion will forever be in my heart, but I think of Anno as a TV guy and head of GAINAX, not as a movie director.

Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell is one of my favorite movies, so I want to watch more of his stuff; I just never got around to actually doing it.

Haven't seen them for a long time but these would've been my choices many years ago:

Akira
Grave of the Fireflies
Perfect Blue
Ghost in the Shell
Ninja Scroll
A Wind Named Amnesia
The Wings of Honneamise
Roujin Z
Galaxy Express 999
Battle Angel (OVA)

Favourite directors: Satoshi Kon, Mamoru Oshii, Isao Takahata and Yoshiaki Kawajiri.

Can't for the life of me explain why I've held off the Evangelion franchise for so long; I'll make it a priority one of these days.
