Lain is pretty tedious, and isn't for everyone, neither is Evangelion, considering how pretentiously overbearing it is.
The movies that got me into Anime were Things like Appleseed, Black magic M66, patlabor Movies, Akira and Ninja Scroll. Dragon Ball Z really got me interested, and evangelion was what I watched immediately afterwards. Cowboy Bebop is a great fun to watch, and is easily digestable in large Binges considering that the story isn't entirely continuous. Other animes of high stature indlude Tenchi Muyo (also in conjunction with the 3 movies and the TV show Tenchi Universe), Gundam (I liked W plus Z, 8th MS, V, X and Turn-A are all supposedly good series as well), Noir (lipstick lesbians, plus inplausible assassination stylee makes this somewhat frustrating but altogether decent) and Full Metal Panic.
