All of the above posts offer god advice, on trying to gather more info on what type of anime your friend likes and also good recommendations. I don't have much new to add except Wolf's Rain. very likely my favourite series. I Prefer the Japaneses dialog version with subtitles better then the translated American version. Enough that I have never sat through an entire American epp. Witch hunter robin was a good series also.
for movies, the original ghost in the shell is good as is Akira. And one of my favourite films would be Princess Mononoke.
