There is a ridiculous amount of anime out there and a lot of it is crap. However there are some diamonds in the rough it's simply a matter of finding it, and what types of anime you prefer.
First and foremost, in my opinion, is Cowboy Bebop, it has an amazing story, great animation, it's well dubbed, and has an awesome soundtrack. Along those same lines I'd also say FLCL is a must for the same reasons. After those there are others that are good for different reasons. Lodoss War if like Lord of the Rings and D&D. Ghost in the Shell series if like complex characters and political story lines. Evangelion if you want a very confusing and complicated show with a story loosely based on the end times prophesied by the bible. All these shows are really good and you should give them a try.
One last thing you said you like Miyazaki but have you seen all of his stuff, if not some musts are The Cat Returns, Porco Rosso, Kiki's delivery service, Totoro, and Spirited Away.
