Gundam, -||- 0080, -||- 0083, -||- Z and 8th MS to mention the whole UC Gundam saga.

Beside those all mecha shows:
Good looking: Jin Roh, Blood: The Last Vampire, Ghost in the Shell, Macross Plus,
Good sci-fi: Crest of the Star (quite slow, but has very well written characters), Bubblegum Crisis (very good 80-ies jrock soundtrack, good action), Bubblegum Crisis 2040 (the same in 90-ies edition with a better story and contemplative ending, character development)
Good story: Berserk (already mentioned IIRC), Nausica
...and Love Hina for the romantics out there.
Strange but good atmospehere: Noir

Hmm, some good ones currently out include Shingetsutan Tsukihime which has vampires and other fun stuff, Full Metal Alchemist if you like lighter stuff, Scrapped Princess which I've mentioned, LastEXILE which is 1930s-style aerial action....

Hmm....anyone watched music video clips with anime background?

Like, let's say Pulp fiction soundtrack with scenes from Cowboy Bebop?
Or Vivaldi's Summer Storm with Scenes from every anime made so far?

Look for the AMV section.

I have countless that wouldn't pale in comparison.
You have the oldies like Saint Seiya, Cobra space adventure, The Mysterious cities of gold, Patlabor, You're under arrest, Lodoss, Slayers etc
You have less old stuff like Nadesico, Cowboy bebop, Trigun, Noir, etc
You have the recent stuff like Last EXILE ( my favourite :) ), Scrapped Princess, Vandread, etc

You also have stuff like Azumanga Daioh! ( but that's odd and you have to understand the japanese culture or you won't understand most of the jokes ), Ebichu ( same as Azumanga, but very, very trash :p ), Jungle Wa Itsumo Halle Nochi Guu - Jungle for short :p - ( which is hilarious ), you have the classics like Love Ina ( for the romantic ones, as Flaser said, but it's also quite wacky :p ). You have unknown stuff like Mahou Senshi Riui, that would deserve more fame.

For space scifi only, well, my seelction would be Crest/Banner of the stars, Cowboy Bebop, Macross, Nadesico, Vandread, Outlaw Star ( oldie ), The Heroes of the Galaxy ( classical music, and it's much more about strategies, a very deep and thick thing ), I'm not much a fan, but Kiddy Grade would qualify too. Meh, most stuff by Leiji Matsumoto ( Harlock, Yamato, SSX999, etc ). I'm probably forgetting a lot, but heh.

Try the Drunk Song, with Vash from Trigun and, I think Spike from Cowboy Bebop, it was excellent. Also one I don't remember, with shots from Porco Rosso and Nausica, with Mummer's Dance as a music ( Lorrena McKennit ), a very beautiful one.
SCREW CANON!

if we're talking about AMV's then I must recommend this one

Gundam 08th MS Team - Nightwish - 10th man down

superb AMV, beat and action is nicely synched.

(well ok I do like Nightwish a lot so that might affect my judgement but the video is still very well done)
Habeeb it...

I just watched the third macross zero episode and... woah!
I didn't like much the CGI in the first one, but there's it's simply jawdropping. The attack on the carrier battlegroup, you have to see it to believe it, that's kicks any real movie so far. Stunning. I would almost put screenshots from that, it's so f'cking cool.
SCREW CANON!

Kasperl beat me to it.

Anyway the whole is: NGE - Ramstein: Engel

Recomended AMVs:
End of Evangelion - Nightwish: End of All Hope
Macross Plus - Information High OR Macross Pluss - Hans Zimmerman Stealth
Trigun - Seether Fire: Fine Again
Gundam Wing - Three Doors Down: Kryptonite
Lain - Hughes Hall: Sleep Now

Something that may stike you odd, but can blow you:
NGE - Evita: Lady's Got Potential
the same group also made:

NGE - Quenn: Bohemian Rapsody - NOW IMHO THIS  IS no.1

Use an ftp client. Anonymus login should be OK.
