Mine would be anything directed by Yamada Naoko, this includes:
Silent Voice
Liz and the Blue Bird
Tamako Love Story
Kimi no Iro (if you live in USA, it’ll be in theater on 25th Jan)
K-On
Heike Monogatari
Modern Love Tokyo episode 7 (Modern Love Tokyo is an anthology of love story by various directors, most is a live action drama except episode 7, so you can jump straight to episode 7)
Hibike Euphonium (Yamada was the series director for 1st & 2nd season, but give the 3rd a watch as well, it’s cinematography best to none for me last year)
Hibike! Euphonium was directed by Ishihara Tatsuya, who has also done a bunch of other must-watch anime.
Kanon 2006, Clannad, Haruhi Suzumiya, Nichijou, Dragon Maid S, and of course Hibike! Euphonium.

Yeah, should have made it clear, the main director for hibike was Ishihara, but Yamada was credited as series director
