Scrap that, Dragon Ball, that's the only one. Maybe Death Note.
If you want anime that doesn't put you in a pervert category but as an intellectual or something like that, I guess Tatami Galaxy, Ghibli works, some PA Works (Uchouten Kasouko), famous movies like Akira and Ghost in the Shell, Paprika, maybe 5 cm per second.

You want something that people recognize, but didn't watch, so they can't criticize it. Optionally stuff both newbies and veterans appreciate.
I'd say:
FMAB
Cowboy Bebop
NGE
Madoka
Shirobako
FLCL
Tatami Galaxy
LotGH
Shinsekai yori
