If you're rewatching, I'd just go with the movies. I think they're about three quarters content from the series with the rest being new stuff.

4th one was supposed to be out in Japan recently I believe, but got Covid delayed.

...I wouldn't consider this a high priority watch, though. I mean the first one is OK but basically just the show in HD. Second is pretty great. Third is....very....very bad.

...Just about everyone at Gainax who made Gurren Laggen left to form Trigger. It's all the same people. Gainax died aong time ago.

Yeah, but KLK has exactly the same style has every big Gainax show, as long as "every big Gainax show" means just TTGL.

From what I recall, episodes 1-15 > 1st movie, but 2nd movie >>> episodes 16-27. Or tv show pre-timeskip, 2nd movie post-timeskip. I remember not caring for the 1st movie at all (esp how it ended) but I seriously loved the 2nd movie. Covers all the relevant stuff, keeps things tight/moves briskly and the changes they made to the whole final battle sequence are fantastic.

Though I also haven't rewatched the show in a while so probably worth doing both the show & the movies and you can report back to us!

Also Brotherhood and AoT, this is a pretty solid anime order. My only recommendations after those are the (completely different) Monster (found nowhere) and Legend of the Galactic Heroes (available for streaming on HiDive!)

KLK is very good! Don't know why some in the TTGL fanbase feel the need to attack it.

I adore TTGL too of course, it was very impactful on me due to what was going on in my life at the time. For that same reason, though, I've become a bit detached with it over the years because of how time and place it was for me.

I did compare it heavily to TTGL which is a big reason I didn't like it, but it's mediocre in general

Can't believe that there are actually people who watch Endless 8 without skipping most of the episodes.

The book version is much better than the anime version.

Hence why I said it's a great story

It's worth seeing the anime version, too, even if all you do is watch the last episode

For some reason, the consensus opinion about the Haruhi anime among newer fans seems to be Disappearance > Endless Eight >>>>> Worthless filler garbage that only exists to set up those two arcs. I don't think I'll ever get how an awful adaptation of a average-ish story is now considered one of the high points of the series.

Yeah, I'm all for watching the first and last episode of E8. But definitely skip what's in the middle.

I don't think that's true.

Going back to your original inquiry, I'd like to recommend some more recent anime that I would consider modern "classics", in that they're shows that will stand the test of time and aren't just seasonal hits (which I like plenty of, don't get me wrong, but there's a difference). Not a statement against the mid 2000s and teens stuff, it's just that stuff has been recommended to death and you've likely already heard of them all (although nobody has mentioned Baccano, which absolutely falls into the category of a classic). Like nobody has to make a point to recommend Brotherhood or Titan or Steins;Gate, everyone knows those shows, even if the last one is my #1 series.

Also avoiding stuff that's ongoing. Re:Zero literally just started a second season a couple days ago. Some of these could get further seasons, but nothing on that yet. This is also all personal opinion of course.

A Place Further Than the Universe
Devilman Crybaby
Land of the Lustrous
Made in Abyss
Re:Creators
Konosuba
Rascal Does not Dream of Bunnygirl Senpai

There's more, but I'm not trying to overwhelm here. Obviously this is subjective and I have zero doubt that someone will follow up this post about how they think one or more of these shows sucks.
