That's definitely a "depends on your taste" thing. :)
[The below are mostly series rather than movies]
For something that's really interesting, and also family friendly, Den-noh Coil is really good:

A similar "feel" kind of thing (family friendly) to the above is The Orbital Children:

---
For stand out story, probably Made in Abyss:
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_in_Abyss https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_in_Abyss
Due to the animation style, it looks like a kid/teen focused show at first. Don't be fooled, it's really not.
It has some incredibly complex (dark) themes. DON'T let young people watch that one (emotional trauma likely!).

If something "a bit different" is on the cards, then Cyberpunk Edgerunners is extremely good (I reckon):
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberpunk:_Edgerunners https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberpunk:_Edgerunners
That's more of a Eastern+Western collaboration styling wise rather than pure Japanese anime. It's still a really good watch though. :)

Another western style one that's really good is Scavengers Reign:

Movies wise, probably Redline (2009) and Belle are the first to mind for me:
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redline_(2009_film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redline_(2009_film)
Very unique animation style, not everyone's cup of tea. ;)
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_(2021_film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_(2021_film)
Also family friendly. :)
- Filligree 2y agoOrbital Children is a literal sequel to Dennou Coil. But I’m sure you’re aware of this. :)
- justinclift 2y agoAhhh cool. Didn't actually remember that, though I had a faint feeling they were related. :)
- Filligree 2y agoIt isn't exactly obvious. They're set two decades apart, and the only character from Dennou Coil who shows up is Michiko, inside Second Seven somehow. Which does at least make me suspect that the Yuukos have been busy. Though once I noticed the space station was getting entirely covered in Isako's scribblings, that was... a moment.
