I remember enjoying the Robotech series and Voltron as a young adult but that's as far as my anime watching has gone.
I want to see if would still enjot it and would like recommendations on movies that I should see to get me hooked.
 
Tenchi is goo dand funny, but better as a series. Princess Monoke was relaly good, as was lodos war (but that's pretty long) Macross is also a series that I really enjoyed.
 
the evangelion series is one of my favorites(it was my first)

there is SO MUCH good stuff out there, PM me and i'll throw down a list for you, of what i've got at least
 
Since you said movie, my choices are:

Rurouni Kenshin OVA's (it?s not a movie, more like a mini-series, but damn it?s amazing!!!)
Princess Mononoke
Spirited away (Jap. + Eng subs)
Ghost in the Shell
Grave of the Fireflies
Cowboy Bebop - Knocking on heavens doors (any CB is good 🙂)

I'm forgetting others.... I saw too animes many with out checking the names.
Also, I only watch the english subtitled one. Some have really horrid dubs and ruin the damn movie.
 
The Blue Girl series is pretty neat. You can get them in english too if you look hard enough. Not that you really need to know what's being said. And a friend of mine says the Revenge of the Overloard is pretty fun too.

Hear ya go. Best idea. Start with Akira, if you don't like it you won't like any anime cept maybe Poke'mon.
