Films that capture the look and feel of modern Tokyo?

OK, so as the title says I'm looking for an anime film that really captures the look and feel of modern day Tokyo. I've recently watched The Girl Who Leapt Through Time which did this brilliantly as well as being an excellent film in it's own right.

I'm looking for more films, regardless of genre, that at least in part capture the look and sounds of Tokyo. Any suggestions?

Cheers

Railway Otaku are fascinating - I saw a lot of them in Akiba. I second Zin5ki's suggestion.

Some older one's I'd suggest is the Nana anime (two women heading to the bright lights of the neon city) which also represents the hopes and dreams that the young attach to the city. Tokyo is kind of a symbolic as well as an actual place.

Oh, and Paradise Kiss for the visuals, they mix actual Shibuya with the anime.
 
All Clamp works have tokyo tower in it, if even briefly.

Sakura Cardcaptor is in its suburbs and Tokyo Babylon is in Tokyo as the name indicate.

Samurai X is in Edo (old name for Tokyo), Sakura wars is in 20's Tokyo and so on.
