Anime Movie Suggestions

Ok so what is your favorite non-series anime movie / what one would you suggest to me?

So far i've seen
Perfect Blue
Princess Mononoke
And i've wanted to see
Tokyo Godfathers
...and i think thats it, not very impressive, what im looking for is a movie that does not have a series in the storyline. This is good because i can get a full understanding of the anime without having to watch a whole series, because my boss is mentally handicapped into giving me 1 shift a week so i get about $25 a week and i cant afford a series, and i cant stand starting a series and not being able to see the rest of it waiting for the next paycheck. So now that you understand what im looking for, start making some suggestions.

Akira
Both the Ghost in the Shell Movies (yes there's the GitS series, but the movies basically stand alone)
Green Legend Ran
Metropolis
Ninja Scroll

Interstella 5555
The original Ninja Scroll
Jin-Roh - The Wolf Brigade
Macross Plus: The Movie (easily stand alone with little to do from the other series)
Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honneamise (More Gainax goodness)

Lupin III - The Castle of Cagliostro: Essential. Buy this movie now!

Jin-Roh: really sad but great movie.

Wings of Honneamise: One of my favs, great story and amazing detail.

Ninja Scroll: Awesome ninja action flic.

Macross Plus: One of the best OAV's ever made. A must see.

Ghost in the Shell 1 & 2: Both movies are slow paced but the animation is great.

Patlabor 1 & 2: Same slow paced style but a great story none the less.

Escaflowne the Movie: Has nothing to do with the series. I didn't like it too much but it's still a good movie and quite popular.

I'll list more once i've had some sleep.
