The other peerless Miyazaki's are Princess Mononoke (the only other work with as much depth as Spirited Away) and My Neighbour Totoro (avowedly a children's film). Nearly all the others are also very very good.

And if that's your only exposure to anime then you should at the very least checkout Satoshi Kon's masterpiece Paprika.

I wouldn't introduce someone to Satoshi Kon with Paprika. In my opinion it is much better to watch Kon's movies in their chronological release order. Perfect Blue is much more accessible and less surrealist than Paprika which may confuse someone and cause them to dismiss Kon's whole cinematography as a whole.

I just watched "Perfect Blue", it was really great. I'll keep watching more Satoshi Kon movies if I can find the DVDs. It's really hard to find them.

It took me 3 attempts to watch Paprika, but luckily I watched it in the end. It might be a bit obscure/strange for someone starting (IMHO).
