Anime
Love anime, but finding good anime can definitely be challenging. Also depends on exactly what you mean by anime. There's a growing trend in artwork to do less traditional anime, such as Teen Titans. Guess it could be considered a fusion of eastern and western styles.
Sadly I find a lot of anime to be 'formulaic' at this point. Two characters talk for several episodes about how much they're going to kick each others ass, and then finally spend 2 seconds fighting only to realize they're actually brothers and shouldn't be fighting at all or something retarded like that. Definitely can't stand anime like that, and that's most of what we get on TV in North America, which is a shame. IMHO it's what makes potentially outstanding anime become almost intolerable to watch (gundam seed, dbz, naruto, etc all suffer a lot from this, and would do everyone a favor to correct it).
Inu Yasha is ok, but little too kiddie/repetative to take at times. Avatar is a decent story so far. Samurai Champloo was an interesting and artistic series. Despite some…severe oddities, I'd still recommend watching it. Escaflowne was a neat series, but seemed short lived somehow.
For movies, Ninja Scroll, Patlabor, Judge, Black Magic M66, Ghost in the Shell (original movie, series is a little slow paced so far from what I've seen), Animatrix, most of Miyazaki's works, etc.
I'm sure I've left a ton out, but that's off the top of my head.
Please show some courtesy to the people on this site. We dont rip on what you like.

I like lots of diff series but to me Naruto and Battle Programmer Shirase are tha best!!
Akira! Yes, it gets old, hearing everyone go on about how cool it is, and how it's the best anime ever, but when it comes down to it, Akira shows you exactly what anime and Manga can be. It's not all rainbows and lolly-pops.
Devil man and Chobits are very good. (lol, devil man and Chobits in the same sentince ^_^)
