I'm going to echo the people who mentioned Rurouni Kenshin. I started out by watching the "Trust & Betrayal" OVA's and was actually a little disappointed about how light-hearted the main series was by comparison. I came to love it though, both manga and anime.
I was recently coaxed into watching "Tonari no Totoro" which is apparently really significant and popular. I felt I gained nothing. This person also gave me a copy of "Spirited Away" under the same recommendation, but I've seen a few people in this thread saying positive things so I guess I'll give it a try.
They also gave me "Grave of the Fireflies". Anybody seen it? Have an opinion?
