Favorite Miyazaki/Studio Ghilbi anime?
I'm a big fan of Miyazaki films (actually anything by Studio Ghilbi for that matter). Laputa: Castle in the Sky is my favorite out of all the ones I've seen. What about yours?

my order is:
1. Grave of the Fireflies
2. My Neighbor Totoro
3. The Cat Returns
4. Porco Rosso
5. Laputa: Castle in the Sky
6. Kiki's Delivery Service
I still need to see Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Castle of Cagliostro, and Panda Go Panda, and a few things that aren't licensed yet X_X (whisper of the heart, etc.)

Wow, that's a tough one. I guess Spirited Away would be my pick, since I got to see it in the theater, which made the viewing experience so much more special. Seeing a Miyazaki film on the big screen is something that must be experienced to be understood.

Yeah, if I were to put my favorites in a list it would look something like this.
1. Laputa: Castle in the Sky
2. Princess Mononoke
3. Spirited Away
4. Grave of the Firefiles
But I agree, it's really tough to come up with a list because all of them are so good!

Since it may fit here, I saw three films at Wal-Mart today...Nausicaa, Porco Rosso, and The Cat Returns. Which of these would you consider really good, in order? And why does Porco Rosso have only Japanese and French? Not that I would've watched it dubbed, but it just made me wonder.

The ones I've liked were:
Castle of Cagliostro
My Neighbor Totoro
Kiki's Delivery Service
When Miyazaki tries to cross over to older audiences, I am disappointed by the results. I think Mononoke was just plain awful, I didn't like Laputa. Spirited Away could have used some more plot development. I haven't tried the new releases yet. I worry about Nausicaa because 1) the manga was excellent and I think the anime won't match up and 2) Nausicaa has been proclaimed to be the ultimate anime for years-- will it live up to the hype?

I can't wait to see Spirited Away, as well as Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle, Castle of Cagliostro, and Panda Go Panda. I'm also eager to see movies like Whisper of the Heart and Only Yesterday licensed here.

hmm...I can't speak yet b/c i've only seen Laputa and Princess Mononoke, both of which I adored for completely different reasons. (Laputa for it's innocence and gorgeous art....Mononoke for the plot/characters/general enjoyability)
But I have Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service sitting next to me. *happy happy*

I want to see Nausicaa though. From what I've heard it was pretty good. What do you think of the Cats Return? Is it good...or not so good.

Favorite. . . oh that's a tough question.
Probably Spirited Away,
Probably Spirited Away,
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I've seen it before on fansub. It's GREAT! Though I havn't seen Nausicaa, so I wouldn't know how they compaired. Anyhow, the Cat's Return looks gorgeous, has a good story, distinctive animation, and some comedy too. I'd recommend it to anyone almost.

Actually, it does have English dub. In fact, Michael Keaton voices the lead.

I'd have to say Princesse Mononoke and Laputa (just finished watching it again) are my two favs...Grave Of The Fireflies and Castle Of Caglistrio are also good.

How is Castle of Caglistrio? I've never heard of it. What's it about?

Castle of Caglistrio is a Lupin the 3rd movie. It has a bit of cussing and some violence but nothing over the top. It's better than all the other Lupin stuff out there...

It was also one of Spielberg's inspirations for "Raiders of the Lost Ark".
As for Porco Rosso (kaemmerite), I've heard that the French dub is excellent and fits the setting better. Some people I know of said it's actually best to watch the French dub with English subs...

1. Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (not a Miyazaki film, but one done by Studio Ghibli)
2. Spirited Away
3. Princess Mononoke
4. Castle in the Sky
4. Grave of the Fireflies (here mostly because it bears the mental stigma of my Japanese teacher killing all joy on the very day we were let out for summer break by showing this)

Grave of the Fireflies is at the top of my list for its drama. I really have never cried so much before watching an anime, it'll just simply break your heart!
I really enjoyed Kikki's Delivery Service ^_^ Very light hearted and charming story.
After that itr's a tie between Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke, for originality, artwork, scoring... Love it
Although the characters all tend to look very simmilar from one movie to the next, they're always a wild journey.

Well, according to Anime News Network, it was co-produced by Ghibli. I'm not sure that that makes it a Ghibli film. Besides, it doesn't seem to be listed on Nausicaa.net (the English Ghibli site) anywhere.
My updated list:
1. Grave of the Fireflies
2. My Neighbor Totoro
3. Spirited Away
4. Laputa: Castle in the Sky
5. Kiki's Delivery Service
6. Porco Rosso
7. The Cat Returns
It's hard to put the Ghibli films in an order from best to worst, they're all so good...

I've only seen a few, and there's definitely I want to see...
Spirited Away
Princess Mononoke
My Neighbor Totoro
Grave of the Fireflies
Grave of the fireflies I really enjoyed, but it's kinda like Passion of the Christ - a masterpiece, but it isn't something you'd want to watch over and over again for fun >.>;
by the way, who's looking forward to getting their hands on Howl's Moving Castle?

I’d have to say my favorites are Nausicaä, Laputa, Spirited Away, Grave of the Fireflies, and Castle of Cagliostro.
But I like all of Studio Ghibli’s films I've seen – Kiki’s, Mononoke, Porco Rosso, Totoro, they’re all worth watching.

Anyone know all of Miyazaki's films or a place that lists them all? I've seen Mononoke and thought it was great, but I want to know all of his films.
