Opinion...
I would reevaluate the choices for 98 and 99, jin roh came out in 98 iirc and this is my opinion, tekken isnt something i would use as a recommendation for a starter pack. To be honest it stinks.
For 94 i would recommend final fantasy lotc instead of street fighter as it seems to be more obscure and likely wouldnt be found on its own like street fighter would.
For 90 i would maybe suggest record of lodoss but not wanting to fill list with too much of one genre.

I really enjoyed cyber city oedo, I'm glad to see it mentioned. For your consideration as well:

Cardcaptor Sakura: The Movie (99)
Angel Cop (89 - 94)
Gunsmith Cats (95)

One of my suggestions is an extension of a TV show, another starts in the decade prior.. but this thread made me realize almost all of my favorites start in the 80s or the early 2000s!

I will also second lodoss, there isnt a lot of quality fantasy nowadays. Its all "I'm stuck in a video game but I'm actually a god/refrigerator!?" and everything works like a video game. Even including western media and live action, fantasy as a genre doesn't seem to get much of significant quality. Most of the material in the genre that I enjoyed was written, either as a novel or as a manga. Scifi and cyberpunk stuff gets all the love, it seems.

I would suggest adding Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki OVA 1 and 2 for '92 and '94 respectively.

I'm not sure if it's good to have two Ghibli movies on the list, Mononoke would be enough. If there were to be a second one, I'd at least go with Omoide Poroporo, a non-Miyazaki one. And if there will be two Oshii, Patlabor 2 might be more relevant than Jin-Roh. Also for movies that are dependent on series, like Evangelion and Sakura, I don't think they fit on the idea, since you'd have to watch the series before. I'm also unsure about the reach and relevance of some of the entries, such as Tekken, Shojo Tsubaki and Roujin Z (even more so considering Memories is already there). Here are some of my suggestions of OVAs that havern't been mentioned yet:

Otaku no Video (91)
Burn Up (91)
Video Girl Ai (92)
Aa! Megami-Sama! (93)
Taiho Shichau zo (94)
El-Hazard (95)
Gundam Dai 08 MS Shoutai (96)
Rurouni Kenshin (99)
Sakura Taisen (99)

I think a "starter pack" isn't supposed to be obscure, it's a list of the most basic and influential, that might give a taste of what was being done at the time and serve as foundation for people to go look after what they might be interested.

I just noticed you have 4 suggestions from 1997 but none from 1996.
Sonic movie and Black Jack movie both came out that year.
Might want to round out that list a bit.

I mistook the Sakura Taisen OVAs here, the one I think is worth a consideration is the first one, Ōka Kenran, from 1997. Others that might also fit are the X/1999 movie and the Tetsuwan Birdy OVA, both from 1996.
