You have to know what genres he likes ... They're as varied as live action films. There's a good chance that he probably would have seen the most popular animes out there.
That being said here are my picks (in no particular order - also I repeated some notable titles):
Action: Appleseed, Akira, Dominion Tank Police, Lupin III series (especially the film Castle of Cagliostro), Ninja Scroll, Ghost in the Shell, Riding Bean, Black Magic m-66
Horror: Blood, Ninja Scroll
Comedy: Project A-KO, Lupin III, Orange Road (series and the finale)
Drama: Grave of the Fireflies (one of the most moving stories you'll ever see ... period)
Sci-Fi/Fantasy: Wings of Honneamise, Galaxy Express 999, All of Miyazaki's films (IMO the grandest of all storytellers with an endless imagination and tremendously moving - Spirited Away, A Castle in the Sky (Laputa), Kiki's Delivery Service, Howl's Moving Castle, Porco Rosso, Princess Mononoke, Nausicaa, Grave of the Fireflies ....)
