Yes.
Not only the animation but the story it self.

 

Ooh so many to choose from!
Some of my favourites are:
Patlabor 1 & 2
Red Hawk
Macross Plus
Spriggan
Akira (goes without saying of course)
Shadow Skill The Movie
I kinda stopped watching anime about 10-12 years ago so am massively behind on what's good so these sorts of threads are great for me

 

inyusha movies and spirited away is the ones I think of at the moment

 

Sword Art Online the Movie: Ordinal Scale is easily the greatest anime movie of all-time. Nothing really comes remotely close. Although one thing I don't like about it is that it takes place right after the events of the second season, yet Asuna says she hasn't written in her diary in a long time and there is no mention of Yuuki whatsoever in the whole movie (though she is shown once). It's just baffling to think that Asuna would never write anything about her best friend and such important events, but of course she writes every time something happens with Kirito.

Aside from that though, my only complaint is that it didn't end with

Spoiler

Asuna and Kirito's wedding

and that it wasn't the end of the series. SAO was clearly never going to be the same again so they should of ended the series while it was on top instead of dragging it on just because it's popular. I'd give Ordinal Scale a 9.5/10, could of easily been a 10/10 if it were a bit more logical regarding Yuuki. I'm really thankful for Ordinal Scale since it gave us one of the greatest nude scenes of all-time, finally showing us Asuna's naked butt. That one bath scene alone is sexier than like 90% of Ecchi anime...if not more.

The greatest non-sequel anime movie is Expelled from Paradise, which is about a 8/10. For some reason I didn't like it much the first time I watched it but I think it's great now. Most movies that aren't part of a TV series have bad or generic characters, since ninety minutes isn't a whole lot of time to both establish good characters and tell a meaningful story. Expelled from Paradise somehow avoids that problem, maybe because it only has a few characters. I really like the story and the "moral code" stuff. The ending theme song, Eonian by Elisa, is one of my favorite anime songs. The fanservice is sadly only mediocre, but at least it has fanservice. Hopefully the new Expelled from Paradise movie coming out next year will have better nudity than the first one though.



Lyrics

How many times have my tears fallen in small chinks?
How many times have I felt the pain inside of me?
The songs that won't wait for the words to tell me
The resonance of my heart, sleeps in my memories

Clear blue sky, horizon
Flowers of our wishes bloom in wilderness
Accepting every face, I will cry again
Power rises deeply in my soul
Wind blew to historical times
Always pushing my courage
To fulfill the future
Let me discover that...

It's so far away
I want to envision
To the continuous never-ending story I imagine
Even I wander around in the dark
Ray of hope, brightens us, hold it so close, always smelling in the blooms
I will leap through time from where I stand
To connect our love forever...

I'm longing for the reason why you left footprints
I'm searching and thinking over and over again
How to save her again, you know that to hell
Never look into your asinine darkness
Deep inside your heart always should have smile
It's a powerful event
Pray full of noise, don't be afraid
I will not lose myself...

Starting over
I'm going to tell
To the unstoppable changing future toward again
I won't lose by this standing down our fates
Say certain heartbeat will reminiscence, I hear on and on and on
The place where sound stands, the miracle...
Exists forever...

Thousands of eyes have moved upon to high above
Moon and the stars snuggles in the universe with each other
Reunite to hope I link them up one by one
Yes, we can meet again someday...
So long...

It's so far away
I want to envision
To the continuous never-ending story I imagine
Even I wander around in the dark
Ray of hope, brightens us, hold it so close, always smelling in the blooms
Let up brightening to see, I'll hear and lie free
Rise up with the strength and move to tomorrow
I'm living time to time from here I stand
To connect our love forever...
