If you edit the style of ListViewItemContainer, you can't know find the definition of animation of ListViewItem. That's because they are defined in ListViewItemPresenter and you can't edit them.

Alternately, ListBoxItemContainer is so much easier to style. By saying that, it's because when you edit the style of it you can see the full VisualStateManager defining each state of the container.

Let's see what's in ListBoxItemStyle:

  <Style x:Key="ListBoxItemStyle1" TargetType="ListBoxItem">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
            <Setter Property="TabNavigation" Value="Local"/>
            <Setter Property="Padding" Value="12,11,12,13"/>
            <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left"/>
            <Setter Property="UseSystemFocusVisuals" Value="True"/>
            <Setter Property="Template">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <ControlTemplate TargetType="ListBoxItem">
                        <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
                            <Grid.Resources>
                                <Style x:Key="BaseContentPresenterStyle" TargetType="ContentPresenter">
                                    <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Segoe UI"/>
                                    <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="SemiBold"/>
                                    <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="15"/>
                                    <Setter Property="TextWrapping" Value="Wrap"/>
                                    <Setter Property="LineStackingStrategy" Value="MaxHeight"/>
                                    <Setter Property="TextLineBounds" Value="Full"/>
                                    <Setter Property="OpticalMarginAlignment" Value="TrimSideBearings"/>
                                </Style>
                                <Style x:Key="BodyContentPresenterStyle" BasedOn="{StaticResource BaseContentPresenterStyle}" TargetType="ContentPresenter">
                                    <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Normal"/>
                                    <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="15"/>
                                </Style>
                            </Grid.Resources>
                            <VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
                                <VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">

                            <Rectangle x:Name="PressedBackground" Fill="Transparent" Control.IsTemplateFocusTarget="True"/>
                            <ContentPresenter x:Name="ContentPresenter" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}" ContentTransitions="{TemplateBinding ContentTransitions}" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}" Style="{StaticResource BodyContentPresenterStyle}" TextWrapping="NoWrap" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>
                        </Grid>
                    </ControlTemplate>
                </Setter.Value>
            </Setter>
        </Style>

Thus, to removing the Tilt Animation of ListViewItem, you can replace the ListViewItemPresenter in a ListViewItemContainer with ContentPresenter or just comment it, which will remove all the effect like PointOver. Or if you want to keep all the build-in effects you can replace it with the ControlTemplate part of the code above.
