Waking Life (2001) - This is an atypical film about a young man who drifts from one dream to the next, witnessing or taking part in a series of philosophical discussions, some themselves dealing with the nature of dreams. The whole film is rotoscoped, which is animation over live actors - you may have seen the technique in the more recent A Scanner Darkly - It lends the film itself a dream like quality. A good film if you consider yourself a bit of an arm chair philospher like I do.
Princess Mononoke (1997) - Great film, even watching it for the first time now, after all the environmental doom and gloom has become overtly fashionable. It's not made into a black and white issue here, and the whole film is dressed up with imaginative ideas, pretty much expected from Hayao Miyazaki. It's got an epic armageddon finale which all
good animes need, and the water spirit looks damn cool.
Wristcutters: A Love story (2006) - Bradylama made this sound really good in a journal entry, and he wasn't wrong. The suicide afterlife is just like ours, but slightly worse: people can't smile, and there really is a portal underneath the car seat which all your stuff disappears through. Wry laugh-out-loud humour throughout, and an effective and sweet love story.
Tekkonkinkreet (2006) - Completely awesome anime about two homeless kids who refuse to stand aside as the mafia and more dangerous forces try to move in and claim 'Their Town' for themselves. The animation looks great, the soundtrack, by electronic band Plaid, is stunning. It's got great action sequences, and a touching story of kinship. You can't go wrong.
