I’m not a huge movie fan, but I want to broaden my horizons a bit. I’ll offer my list (that I’ve rewatched so many times I’m a bit tired of them):
- 
Young Poisoner’s Handbook 
- 
Full Metal Jacket 
- 
Life of Brian 
- 
Holy Grail 
- 
Sunset Boulevard 
- 
Curse of the Golden Flower 
- 
The Nightingale 
- 
Downfall 
- 
Amadeus 
- 
Once Were Warriors 
- 
Dusk to Dawn 


I’m pretty surprised. I am always trying to recommend anime to my friends to get them into it. But I can see how some fans are jerks. Like they forgot what it was like to be newbies.
I tried to list shows that were not only finished, but also relatively short so that they’re not intimidating to start. Hope you find one you like! I didn’t include any shoujo (girl targeted) anime because I forgot and don’t really watch many. Only one I’ve seen is Ouran Host Club which is actually pretty good so I’ll add it to my list.
