I kinda of was too, but knew something was special. Wiki says this, which sounds a lot more reasonable.
Most anime is notorious for cutting production corners with limited motion, such as having only the characters' mouths move while their faces remained static. AKIRA broke from this trend with detailed scenes, lip-synched dialogue – a first for an anime production – and super-fluid motion as realized in the film's more than 160,000 animation cels.

See how it notes "a first for anime". I believe Snow White (I'm going only on a gut feeling) had way more than 160k animation cels. I can dig, but if we're looking at 30 cels per second, I bet on my dumb math that Snow White contained more than 160k cels.
Flowers for Algernon (2000), at first you're like "cool, this is a good movie," then at the end you're like "Oh my god my tears are crying, he forgot!" It sounds like a LMN movie, and it is. Bu it;s so much better than the others, it;s really worth watching.
Harry Brown - A little slow, but that scene where he goes to buy a gun is awesome.
Dusk Til Dawn - Awesome that you saw it without knowing anything ahead of time. That's how it must be watched. I saw it late at night on tv around 96-99 before there were show descriptions.
Attack the block on bluray - finally! Since it didn't show up within 100 miles of me in theaters, I can finally see it.
Akira - I know nothing about the anime but there are cool motorcycles and stuff. And Leonardo dicaprio is usually attached to pretty good projects.
Animation cells - 160,000 at 24fps is 6666 seconds which is 111 minutes. So that sounds about right. Snow white would be the equivalent for however many minutes it is.

Saw Dusk Til Dawn at an 11 pm show at a second run theater back then, knew nothing going in, very memorable.... but what I remember the most is a ghetto couple that had two kids with them, one was around 6-7, the other 8-9. Now they were quiet during the movie, probably because they were scared shitless or confused about all the boobies. Great parenting guys.

no I meant "same -- I saw it before I knew anything about it."
