Death Note is my favorite
In terms of anime movies samurai x is one of my favorites, although I haven't seen grave of the fireflies yet.
I think Naruto could be great if they got rid of a lot of the overtly cheesy crap and if they took the series down a darker path. For example *spoilers* if the writers had killed off Hinata or Pain hadn't revived the entire town the actions of the characters would have so much more impact. Although I don't read the manga so I don't know if the story takes a darker twist.
On a side note Netflix just added a ton of anime series to instant watch but I don't know if their any good to watch. Anyone know of Samurai 7 is a good series?
edit: I forgot to add Berserk as one of my favorite anime series too. Gurren Lagan was pretty cool too :P
