I'm a fan of most of Oshii's work, and Angel's Egg is a particular favourite, but it's not hard to see why it's rarely recommended. The film has very little narrative and it leans heavily on visual symbolism.

The best way to sell Angel's Egg to the people predisposed to seeking out anime is to mention its influence on Dark Souls 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9wSol7JdG0
This comment had the reverse effect on me - Dark Souls 3 has been on my backlog for a while, and I'm now more keen to play it :)

Mentioning that Yoshitaka Amano worked on it might also be a draw for some people.
