Favorite Anime Movies?

What are some of your all time favorite anime movies?

Mine has to be "Crayon Shin Chan: The Adult Empire Strikes Back!" It's honestly so great.
Some honorable mentions are : Wolf Children, and Grave of the Fireflies. There's a lot more but those are just from the top of my head..

@SilverFoxR: Always the way , there's loads of quality movies that get forgotten
Just checking a few lists online

Toyko godfathers is meant to be good
so is 5cm per second and the girl who leapt through time

The Ghost in a shell movies are very good

Memories - 3 shorter segmented movies , all very good , as is The Animatrix

Vampire hunter D - very good

Appleseed is meant to be good

Tekkon Kinkreet looks good and is highly rated

The final fantasy movies, whilst not anime , they are very good , the spirits within is great , and advent children is awesome

The Iron Giant and Titan AE are both awesome

The wolf brigade is meant to be good

Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos is very good too

Like you say though I get the feeling something is missing from the list, it'll come back to use then just post it here

The Animatrix , Memories and Metropolis are probably the best in my opinion, worth checking out in the very least

Ohsh... I completely forgot Redline! I KNEW I was missing one and now I'm kicking myself for forgetting what is probably my all-time favourite anime movie!

Hotarubi no Mori e and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. Didn't really get the praise for Summer Wars, since it was basically a remake of Digimon: Our War Game.

Garden of Words. Animation as real as it gets.
@yumtoast I would like your opinion on it.

Everyone has mentioned Summer Wars and Wolf Children, but before both of those movies, they did another very good anime movie, "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time". You should absolutely check it out as it has an equally odd and cool set-up.

But yeah... as most people have said, the Cowboy Bebop Movie, Summer Wars and anything by Studio Ghibli are great. Other movies I'd probably suggest are:
-Trigun: Badlands Rumble (not amazing, but still a fun addition to the series)
-Any of the Slayers movies (some are episode-length, some are full movies, all are great)

Has to be Spirited Away. I don't even remember what it's about. All I know is I saw it 8 years ago and that it was my first taste of anime. I thought it was the best thing ever.

I much prefer series over movies, but my favorite is either Kara no Kyoukai series or 5 Centimeters per Second.

No favorites, but I did enjoy Hotarubi no Mori e and Eve no Jikan.

I've been hearing good things about the AnoHana movie, so I'll be watching that soon, considering the BD has been around for 2 months.
