I'm kind of an anime amateur as well, but here's my thoughts:
Movies:
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust: Awesome movie. 10 times better than Vampire Hunter D. It blew me away.
Akira: People say it's a classic, I hated it. Good animation, sure, but I hated the movie.
Princess Mononoke: Not a great movie. Not bad either. It's at least easy to find, since it had a major American release, unlike most anime.
Series:
Gundam Wing: Giant Robots rock. The characters are interesting, and the fighting is cool.
Dragonball Z: Make sure you can fast forward if you watch this. The storyline is awful (at least to me) but the combat is awesome.
