Consider yousrself lucky you haven't seen it.

as far as my anime top 5, i have to go with: (in no particular order)

Ranma 1/2
Spriggan
Macross (the whole series is good, from Macross: The Movie to Macross Plus+)
Battle Angel Alita (Gunnm)
Outlaw Star
the list goes on and on...

my top 5 movies
the ones I can see over and over again
not in any particular order

Beauty and the Beast (Jean Cocteau version)
The Incredibles
City of Lost Children
Singing in the Rain
Master and Commander: Far Side of the World

I'll add this too.

My 5 favorite guilty pleasure films:

1. John Carpenter's The Thing
2. The 13th Warrior
3. 300
4. Willow
5. Mortal Kombat

And my 5 favorite anime films. (Not series, but films. But it does include films based upon anime series.)

1. Ghost in the Shell
2. Read or Die
3. Metropolis
4. Princess Monoke
5. Ninja Scroll

And what the hell. Top 5 favorite anime series:

1: GitS: Stand Alone Complex
2: Big O
3. Turn A Gundam
4. Escaflowne
5. Cowboy Bebop

Loved 300 until Meet the Spartans ruined the image. *shrugs* Got me a nice manga collection consisting of Detective Conan, Slayers, Ranma 1/2 and is currently collecting the Negima series.

Saw the Ninja Scroll partially as well since I've only been flipping through channels when I happened upon it and I liked the Cowboy Bebop movie what with that bio/nano virus that could wipe out entire worlds with just the right wind.

FWIW, I'll post my Top 5 Classic Games instead just to keep things going. Maybe this should be renamed to personal Top 5 instead of only limiting it to movies.

Top 5 Classic PC Games:
1. UFO: Enemy Unknown
2. Quest For Glory Series
3. The Broken Sword Series
4. Monkey Island Series
5. Alone in the Dark Series

Yeah. It premiered on G4 sometime last year. Lotta cheap comments/sight gags about breasts and some pop culture references that barely have context. If you're lucky, there'll ONE good joke in any given episode. And if your REALLY lucky, they won't ruin said joke by over-doing it, dragging it on, etc.

They got a few of the original cast to reprise their roles (Joan Rivers, Daphne Zuniga, Mel Brooks, who also executive produces), whereas Rino Romano (The Batman, Spider-Man Unlimited) voices Lonestar and they got Uncle Ted from Bobby's World to voice Barf. Don't know who plays Dark Helmet, but it ain't Rick Moranis.

Since I haven't seen any ads for it on the rare occassion I watch G4 any more, I'm assuming it's cancelled. Maybe on hiatus. But yeah, not a good show. I could accept the cheap animation, but the cheaper writing? No thanks.

ANIME MOVIES:

NAUSICAA: Image in previous thread, no contest for me

GHOST IN THE SHELL: you all know it

STEAM BOY:


NINJA SCROLL: you should all know it

PRINCESS MONONOKE:


Others I liked: Metropolis, Spriggan, Akira, Tales from Earthsea and all other Ghibli productions


MANGA/ANIME SERIES:

PLANETES: nice, realistic space saga with a surprising ending


RANMA 1/2 (manga):


BESERK: was he the first to carry the flippin' giant sword or did he copy of someone?
At least he looks like he could maybe weild it unlike some of those scrawny blokes.


GUNDAM WING


CARD CAPTORS

that makes me want to rewatch princess mononoke tonight

now with the big t.v and better sound it should be great(er)!

as far as cardcaptor Sakura, gimme that any day over the 4kids Cardcaptors show...

hmm, Akira, Fist of the north Star... the Fatal Fury movies (all of them!!!)

I thought I was the only one who knew/loved Ranma! Yay!!!

@Charles

They actually gave him a good reason for using an over-sized sword in the show, so I was pleased. Usually it's some skinny kid wielding a massive sword for no other reason then to look cool. The sheer level of violence in the show surprised even me, I was expecting some violence but not some guy cutting men AND horses in half, with both wearing armor. His cross-bow hand was pretty awesome too.

I can't really put them in any sort of order:

ReAnimator

Afro Samurai:Ressurection

The Dark Knight

Harold & Kumar:Escape from Guantanimo Bay

Pulp Fiction

I'm a little confused with everyone having the Incredibles on the list... It was good, but there is so much more...


In no particular order -

Original Sin
Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken
Willow (the book too!)
Neverending Story
Schindler's List

I have quite a few more that are obvious, like Breakfast Club, the original version of The Island of Misfit Toys, A Christmas Story,

As for Anime, the only one I've watched is Read or Die, and I really like Paper
