FLCL is also great (though not 90's)
Golden Boy was the only anime I ever saw when I was younger, because my friend downloaded that shit.
My dude, the anime was fun, i agree, but the manga had entire chapters of fucking, piss drinking and other general insanity.
All his comics are kinda fucked tbh (Lastman, Deaman, etc).
Anyway, now that i think about it, lately i've watched a couple of anime series that were real good: Ping Pong, Devilman Crybaby and (not recent but whatev) Monster.
Ping Pong in particular was real pristine.
Akira
Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door
Ghost in the Shell
Howl's Moving Castle
Laputa: Castle in the Sky
Paprika
Perfect Blue
Princess Mononoke
Redline
Steamboy
The Wind Rises
Your Name
Are there any other anime films that don't suck?
The first two Patlabor movies are very good (second one especially is great).
Jin Roh is great, too.
Memories is fun, and Millenium Actress is Kon's best movie.
Also you mention that Howl's stinker, and don't mention Kaguya?
