Once in a decade, give Serial Experiments Lain a rewatch. Check each piece of then-crazy-futuristic-technology which since become commonplace; and all the sociological problems which did not get solved then, or since. Eerily prescient.

I'm also a fan of Lain. Looking back, I think it's best if you watch Neon Genesis Evangelion first, and then go into Lain with the expectation that half of the scenes were inspired by the trippy introspective scenes in Eva.
As someone who watched Lain first, I found it much harder to follow as half of the scenes were distinctively dream-like and weren't "happening".
