One of these days, I will give Spirited Away a try.

Well color me shocked.
Really you should give it a shot. It can take a little bit of effort to get into the story lines sometimes and the prevalence of Shinto gods in many of his movies can really make it seem even more "foreign," though I hardly believe that to be a barrier for you.
I would say Spirited Away or, if you find that one too soft, Princess Mononoke for you. The Disney dub of Mononoke also has a really strong cast: Minnie Driver, Claire Danes, Billy Crudup, Gillian Anderson, Jada Pinkett Smith, and even Billy Bob Thorton, which admittedly is a little strange as a little Japanese guy!
