I have been watching that one too, I like how it kind of has ties to Alice and Wonderland, I didn't think that I would like it at first with some of its twisted parts, but it is actualy quite enjoyable and has gotten better further on.

I know! It's cool, isn't it! I see you have your avatar with Xerxes Break on it. He's my favorite next to Raven/Gilbert and Cheshire Cat. I especially like the music in the series! It's sooooo beautiful and epic! So many great BGMs! I have the OST (original soundtrack CD) too!

As far as films go:

The Wings of Honneamise
Grave of the Fireflies
Mind Game
Paprika

The first two might be a bit boring if what you really want is something consistently action-packed like the Miyazaki films you listed. Otherwise they're two of my three favourite anime movies (Princess Mononoke being the other one).

While it's not much like the ones you mentioned, I highly recommend Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, known in the US as When They Cry. It's something of a horror anime but with many light moments, fantastic characters, and a story that is amazing once you know what's going on. Don't be put off by the fact that the series seems to "reset" back to square 1 every 4-5 episodes--it's important and there's a reason for it.

Many good suggestions here, most of which I've seen or have in my Netflix queue. I'll mention a few classics, and a few recent movies that haven't bee mentioned so far.

Classics:
Urusei Yatsura (series and OVAs)
Ranma 1/2 (series and OVAs)
Ghost in the Shell (movies, TV series)
Tenchi Muyo (original series, the more recent series aren't as good)
Full Metal Alchemist (series, plus several recent films)

Recent films:
Appleseed Ex Machina
Vexile

Recent anime that may be an "acquired taste":
xxxHolic (often called "holic")
Ninja Nonsense (Ninin Ga Shinobu-den in Japanese)

One could guess that from your avatar, some might find it boring but it is a great satire on society, though it always keeps a level head seeing a problem, then at the pinacle: *sound effects and different angles* Zetsuboshita, (I am in despair). One could also think that the main character Nozomu Itoshiki could be aspergers, for a range of things such as not looking at other in the eyes, fairly awkward socialising, and a couple eccentricities. Aswell as a few other characters that might have traits aswell.

If you like Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei I would also recomend other SHAFT anime like Maria Holic and Natsu no Arashi. Also a show that is curently broadcasting and is in a similar style though on more plot based, is Bakemongatari, which many have high praise for which I would recomend to people. It is kind of experimental, and don't be turned off by the first minute as it is kind of like a joke which SHAFT are known for, it is a fun watch.
