i'm a big fan of the older movie
They Were Eleven -- plays out like a real sci fi movie, lots of mystery.
Tokyo Godfathers is fantastic -- though it's a movie.
also movies are my three favorite tragedies of all time:
Oseam,
Dog of Flanders,
Windaria
if you are in a horror mood, go for
Puppet Princess
i could go on and on, but there's a few!
