This is sort of my order of preference, omitting those I haven't seen or wouldn't watch again:
Kiki's Delivery Service Whisper of the Heart Nausicaa of the valley of the wind The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi (must see the series first) Howls Moving Castle Summer Wars Princess Mononoke Spirited Away Ponyo My Neighbor Totoro My Neighbors the Yamadas Just paste them in the search bar here for synopsis and reviews and such. His and her circumstances is a series, not a movie |

You have a number of Miyazaki movies as well as Shinkai Makoto's. I would say watch them all for two reasons; great animation and engaging plot. There are also few others which were not directed by them but are also good movies in my pov.
Sprited Away The Girl Who Leapt Through Time Howls Moving Castle Kikis Delivery Service Castle In The Sky Grave of the Fireflies From Up on Poppy Hill Nausicaa of the valley of the wind Whisper of the Heart Princess Mononoke Akira The Place Promised in Our Early Days Hotarubi no Mori e 5 centimeters per second Summer Wars Paprika Colorful Perfect Blue

I haven't seen everything on your list, but I would say watch 5 cm per second, Grave of the Fireflies, and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time first. These 3 still resonates in my heart when I think of them today.
Also The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi, but as jedinat said above, watching the anime series first is a must. |

There are far too many on that list that I'd recommend which isn't really helpful, so I'm just going to tell you what you really need to avoid: The Bleach films.
Well the first one is fine but definitely avoid the rest. If you've seen one then you've pretty much seen them all.

Thanks
Thanks for your help. I am considering in watching :
Hotarubi no Mori e The Place Promised in Our Early Days Ocean Waves Summer Wars I researched those that you chose and came up with he following above. This might sound selfish but i would also appreciate if you could recommend any others that are not on the list. Criteria: (romance,drama) as usual....no echhi or yaoi/yuri. I don't like animes that are poorly drawn so stay away from those. Thanks for hopefully, fulfilling my selfish request. |

Thanks
Hotarubi no Mori e
The Place Promised in Our Early Days Ocean Waves Summer Wars I have watched them except for ocean waves. Many people who commented on the movie had encouraged me not to watch it. Hotarubi no Mori e, however, was so amazing. I wish it had been atleast an hour and a half long. The other two movies were also great in their own way. Thanks a lot for conquering my anime addiction! Unfortunately....i need more. Last edited by Midnight2352; 2012-10-06 at 08:36. |
