Well, this week I watched netflixs' 'Cyberpunk Edgerunners' and it was alright, if you want something short to watch Id recommend it.
Afterwards I was in the mood for more cyberpunk shit, and I rewatched bladerunner 2049 which is not an anime. I also watched 'Serial Experiments Lain' and I honestly dont really know what to make of it, so if you watched it definitly share your thoughts about it here.
Idk if its because Im r-slurred, drunk or because the anime is just made that way, but a lot of stuff that happened just seemed pointless and only tangentially connected to the plot. Honestly, after watching it I wonder what even happened in those 13 episodes.
This is just some random stuff that came to my mind as I type this out. That doesnt mean I didnt enjoy the anime, because I did, but it just feels like they wanted to send some deep message about life and came of a bit pretentious I guess.

I finished Evangelion
and the End of Evangelion 
movie.
It was good
but, uh, I didn’t get it. 
Something about Christianity 
and how depressed 
people should quit beating 
themselves up.

The core message of Evangelion, imo, is personal relationships will inevitably cause you to be hurt by and to hurt those you care about at some point, but you can't derive any true happiness from attempting to avoid that hurt and live in your own escapist, idealised world.
tl;dr touch grass, have s*x

He literally un-tangs himself after realizing that 'no pain, everyone is the same' world sucks. Then immediately he starts choking Asuka and she calls him a strag.

I heard the evangelion movies are basically the same as the show but better, so could I watch the movies without watching the show?

First 2 rebuild movies follow the first half of the show. Rebuild movies 3 and 4 go in a completely different direction.

I’ve only seen End of Evangelion
and it’s a retelling of just 
the last two episodes.
Also this show’s confusing even if you’ve watched everything.

That's the point. He purposefully made it confusing, and all the imagery were just there because he thought it was cool.
In short: stop watching Eva and go outside.

I’m also confused
about what 
other movies I should watch. Some can be skipped because they’re recaps but some aren’t?
And are they genuine sequels or retellings of the anime
series?

They're a subsequent timeline. The story 
of evangelion 
keeps happening 
(nge/eoe, manga, rebuilds) until the final 
ending is reached (end of rebuilds) is reached.

So they’re alternate timelines, except they somehow happen after the Third
Impact?
