My extremely long favorite movie and anime list. What’s yours?

Question by Michi: My extremely long favorite movie and anime list. What’s yours?
1. What are your favorite movies, cartoons and anime? (which ever apply)
2. Which movies do you wish they’d remake, and/or which books do you wish would be made into movies?
3. Is there a certain genre/type you wish they’d make or make more of?

Welcome to the NHK

I wish they’d remake the movies:
Wizard of Oz
The Neverending Story

I wish they’d make these books into movies:
The Sight (David Clement-Davies)
The Abhorsen Trilogy (Garth Nix)

I really want more of these genres/types:
BDSM (serious, like Secretary but more explicit)
Realistic animes
Physcologic thriller animes (like Perfect Blue)
Non-“comedic” teen movies (like Keith)
Good storylines
Well thought out characters
..lol.

I wish I could find animes and movies that were not so typical. It’s not that hard to make a character a little more interesting. Instead of a pet dog, can’t they have a Figure 8 Puffer? Instead of liking to paint or read, why not like cosplay or studying telekinesis. Maybe a character who is curious about mythological creatures I don’t know.

What is this movie:
A nice looking pale blonde goes to Tokyo to.. start a new life? Because of some guy she meets in American? (I am putting questions marks because I am not sure.) She stays with some random girls(?) and works with them at a modern day geisha resturant(?). They all hate her cause she gets more men and money, and a girl even put glass in her soup, and tons of other mean jokes. When a girl goes missing she begins investigating, keeping an artbook diary to bring her closer to knowing what happened. She thinks she has the answer and it puts her in danger.(?) Then at the end the girl that was “missing” turned out to be safe and sound, at the same place the main character believed her to be. dead or whatever. Wow. Hey, I said it was a crappy description.
Add Alpha Dog and Signs to my list. D;

Ram, FMA has always been something I’ll never be willing to watch. As is Naruto, Inuyasha, Bleach, etc. I admit there probably are some classics I should have watched, though. I dislike sports. What do you like though? lol

Ice-kun,
You reminded me. I wish they would remake Pokemon- for adults. Meaning I wish it was better dialogue and storyline, and some serious romance. And oohhhhhhh you like Clannad. Yay. -looks up a few of her anime faves that she hasn’t heard of-
By the way, I may have added His and Her Circumstances, Eureka 7, and Cowboy Bebop to my list of animes but I haven’t finished them. Hopefully someday I will.
psc,
You reminded me about Mulan, it is one of my favorite cartoons!

Check out ‘Perfect Blue’.

http://vidberry.com/ has animes you can watch for free. There are also some here: http://www.hulu.com/ (tv>animation) Those are two I recommend personally. There are places I have not tried: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=stream+animes+free&aq=f&oq=&aqi=&fp=Xmf0jJ9P_V0 You could look through those sites but I don’t know if they work or not. 😉
