Sometimes (not you), it's usually some people acting elitist due to it just being older and what not.
As for good anime films, my favorite anime film of all time is Millenium Actress, directed by the legendary Satoshi Kon. Everyone I know who has seen it has loved it and it avoids the usual anime stereotypes, so I think you would enjoy it.
@Hex - Curious, have you ever thought about watching Madoka Magica? I think you would enjoy it. It also helps that it's really short.
Yeah. Elitist attitudes towards anything is stupid.
"Back in my day the original 151 Pokemon were the best. These 600 Pokemon now is dumb. Fuck you."
S'like oh I'm an idiot for not being born at the right time.
Heck, some recent-ish Animes are amazing. I never really got into Full Metal Alchemist but it's decent. Afro Samurai is a terrific Anime and I guarantee there's a crap ton more. Samurai Champloo I highly rate. Death Note is one of the best sparks of brilliance in Shonens otherwise bland as hell IPs. Eden of the East has an interesting story etc. So there are some great stuff out there.
I just feel really disconnected with what the big stuff is. But always willing to try though before bashing.
Edit: Forgot to mention.
Wolf Children is a pretty good movie.
