Written by the same guy that wrote Watership Down. Much more adult oriented thematically, but suitable for family viewing (Esp. left leaning families)

Beautiful movie. Out of Print...try if you can to find this used. To my (limited) knowledge Moebius' only animation work. Could be wrong though
Fantastic PlanetFantastic Planet
Buy used from: $29.14
Another out of print gem. This is a classic for its very distinct visual style, and incredible story. I bought this before I even had a DVD player. It's THAT good.

Director of Fantastic Planet does it Again!! Not available on DVD. Start a petition!!!
When The Wind Blows [VHS]When The Wind Blows [VHS]
Buy used from: $7.94
Another classic shamefully not on DVD. Very 80s but still relevant. Probably not great for kids. The film's a commentary on the nuclear arms race/cold war of the 80s.

Some say rotoscoping is the animation equivalent of cheating on a test. I say cheat. Bakshi and Frank Frazetta? How can you hate on that?
Rock & Rule (2-Disc Collector's Edition)Rock & Rule (2-Disc Collector's Edition)
This is an underrated children's rock 'n roll fairy tale. 2 Disc Version includes the uncensored Canadian version and the classic short The Devil and Daniel Mouse!!
Heavy TrafficHeavy Traffic

Forgotten little Bakshi gem. He made lots of good films. This is one of the best.

This is here as a warning. This film is VERY overrated. Self-important philosophizing that goes in circles while pondering the very existence of circles. Acting clever does not a smarty pants make
Heavy Metal (Collector's Edition)Heavy Metal (Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $24.49 / Used from: $14.99
Okay nobody's forgotten about this one...but damn it's fun.
Golgo 13: The ProfessionalGolgo 13: The Professional
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $2.89
Makes James Bond look like a whinning sissy. VERY graphic. NOT for kids. Do yourself a favor...stay away from the sequel.
Starchaser - Legend of OrinStarchaser - Legend of Orin
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $3.00
This one's fun. Not Great. Fun. Originally screened in 3-D you obviously won't get that, but still a forgotten fave. Sword & Sorcery stuff. Nothing deep. Doubt it will stay in print!!
Katsuhiro Otomo Presents: MemoriesKatsuhiro Otomo Presents: Memories

Stunning!! Lots of subversive jabs at the U.S. and The West so be forewarned all you sensitive patriot types.
Meet the FeeblesMeet the Feebles
Buy new: $21.99
Do puppets count? GREAT muppets parody NOT for kids even a little bit. From Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings, King Kong)
Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within (Special Edition)Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within (Special Edition)
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $0.97
One of the few computer generated animated films that doesn't suck or treat us like we're still 7....even though we may ACT like we're still 7.
