Very very few Japanese releases have any English. The well known ones are, as you said, Akira and Ghost in the Shell. I know the Ghibli collection box also have some movies that have English dub on a seperate track. You will have to dig out US releases if you want any with English. I think most of them have CC encoding, so you can switch over to Japanese audio and have English subtitles if you have the decoder. Or watch the dub, if you prefer that. I've heard that the releases done by ADV are prone to rot, so be sure to ask the seller if the disc is tested.
I my self mostly have Japanese discs, but I use a device called a "genlock" to superimpose subtitles. Not much have subtitles available for this system, as most of it have been lost over the years. It became obsolete when DVD hit the market and PCs started to handle video, around the year 2000.
I'm sure some of the more veteran viewers here can pitch in with some more information and suggestions.

The only LD anime that I have is the 6 Moldiver LD's. The rest of my anime is DVD with one exception: HAL the movie is a DVD/BR combo.
In the DVD realm, I have the following:
Air TV Ai Yori Aoshi Azumanda Daioh Castle in the Sky (aka Laputa) Cowboy Bebop, the movie Haibane Renmei Hal, the movie Kamichu Kiki's Delivery Service Nausicaa Spirited Away
I could go on; but, you get the idea. I do know that Kiki's Delivery Service is available on LD. Hope this helps.
