We have similar movie tastes Hasbin.

Lists are tough to compile. I always feel like I leave good stuff out. So small lists off the top of my head that I watched ad nauseum:

Anime:
Ghost in the Shell 1/2
Akira
Princess Mononoke
Vampire Hunter D
Fist of the North Star (must be dubbed! I'm usually a sub guy, of course, but the voice acting in this movie is so memorable, tons of quotable shit delivered gloriously)

Wow - very nice remastering! There are spoilers in these scenes, so avoid if you want to watch from the beginning:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENwy4...eature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ULwM...eature=related

Action:
John Woo's Hong Kong shit
Anything with Schwarz
Rambo series

Cross-genre stuff:
Blade Runner
Heat
2001: A Space Odyssey
The Big Lebowski (of course, right?)
Pulp Fiction

Comedy:
Super Troopers/Club Dread
Ferris Bueller
Used Cars
Dumb and Dumber

Guilty Pleasure:
The Mighty Ducks
Maximum Overdrive
Hard Target

Yeah, tough call. I know what you mean, but I prefer the subbed version.

I have the original series, the original movie, and the new 3d-cell movie (collectors edition), but I don't think it's one of the more accessible anime movies to a wider audience. It's tight as hell for anyone who likes anime tho.
