Azumanga Daioh
Nichijou
Jungle Wa Itsumo hale Nochi Guu
Most Satoshi Kon movies.
I like Rumiko Takahashi and have never seen/read Ranma. It's on Japanese netflix, so this thread has motivated me to try the first episode finally.
Whereabouts did it end? I think the manga is still good.
Read Yotsuba& if you haven't already.
Incredible taste.Tough question, gonna think on it.
It's Ghost in the Shell, obviously.
I have your back on the manga being better, though I also love the film as I said in my answer (in fact I also prefer the manga for JoJo which was my other answer, what can I say other than I am a sucker for story's told through sequential art you have to read) and my personal dream is instead of a Hollywood live action or another attempt at film, wish a really good anime studio could get the property and the appropriate budget to do a whole season to properly adapt the manga from beginning to end.
Akira isn't perfect (I happen to think that the manga is better, but that's just me), but the visuals alone make this movie infinitely rewatchable.
The centepede battle in the Forrest. And the human who feels like a monster being carted off into the unknown. Didn't even get to the base
I honestly do not want the live-action remake because it kinda defeats the point. And yeah I'd love for the entire manga to be adapted because it's amazing.
Same but only because it took me this many watches to understand it.
It was actually 3.
It's a toss up for me between this, GitS SAC, and Cowboy Bebop.
(Patlabor as a possible contender once I actually get around to watching it. Love the movies)
For ones I rewatch all the time id say Spirited Away, Redline and Promare. Since they are all movies rewatching them is really easy
Bebop is just such a confluence of elements being made by people all at the top of their game. I always go in to revisit an episode or two and end up binging more.
Other than that, Irresponsible Captain Tylor, Nichijou, Gankutsuou, Escaflowne, Gurren Lagann, and Giant Robo are probably my most rewatched.
Gankutsuou and Escaflowne in particular have masterful pacing, really feels like episodes of those just fly by, and end on perfectly-dangled cliffhangers that always coax you into saying 'just one more.'

Redline is such a stunning looking film. Concentrated fun, really. One of the few anime I own physically.
Viper GTS for me over BB.
For a real answer... probably Dragon Ball Z.
For a movie, probably Akira or Spirited Away.
I actually don't rewatch much, but End of Evangelion and Nichijou I've gone through, or watched part of, a few times each. Kizumonogatari pt. 3 I've gone through more than once as well. Araragi vs. Kiss-Shot is the best anime fight of the 2010s.
My Neighbor Totoro. It never fails to make me laugh or put me in a good mood. Such a wonderful, beautifully told story- a classic.
FLCL, no question. It's short, sweet, not a single dull moment or wasted scene. Incredible production values and timeless characters. It's infinitely rewatchable.
And I haven't even started talking about my love for The Pillows.

Great Teacher Onizuka and ToraDora. There's stuff I like more (Monster, Nana) but it doesn't have the same rewatchability (is it a word?) as these titles.
Gintama and JoJo are my top two. Gintama for it being absolutely hilarious and having some nice action/serious moments once in awhile. JoJo is absolute ridiculous with the bullshit powers, nonsensical plot, extravagant character designs and colors but I'm all for it.
Some others I'll say is Gurren Lagaan, Daily Lives of High School Boys and Nichijou.

Have a couple. Old School it's either Bubblegum Crisis, or Record of Lodoss War
For newer Anime it's probably One Punch Man. I've watched that first season so many times. For the record I'm OK with the second season, but I readily admit it's not as good as season one, even knowing what happens in the story.

When Marnie Was There
I saw it twice in theaters in Japan, once in theaters in the US, and I've watched my Japanese bluray a couple times. I almost never rewatch things, but I love Muramatu's score, the vibe, the characters, the visuals... everything, I suppose.
Millennium Actress
As I learned more and more about Japanese film history, I grew to love the film even more. It's brilliant, and the way it pays homage to Japan's different eras of film with the creative narrative structure—just divine.
Excellent choices, Marnie is so underrated.
Gone through way too much anime over the years to have just one. Or even just one per genre.
