Favourite Ghibli film and why?

I've only seen Kiki's Delivery Service and Princess Mononoke, but I'll go with the latter. Lady Eboshi might just be my favourite villain of any film, and the part where Ashitaka breaks up the fight between her and San actually had me in tears. As an aside, I like how the animals talk without actually moving their mouths, it seems to be more realistic and work better than if they were to, oddly enough.

Naaaaah, Nausicaa doesn't count as a Ghibli film? It's my favorite.


I love Spirited Away. It was the first Miyazaki film I watched and it made me love his imaginative worlds. But Howl's Moving Castle is more fun and exciting in several ways. I love the different characters, especially the scarecrow prince and the fire demon :3 Plus, everyone loves Spirited Away since if they've only seen 1 Miyazaki movie, it's most likely that one. I wanna be different ;)

I also like Kiki a lot I only saw that movie a couple of days ago (!) but it wasn't as boring as I thought it would be. Rather than be about a little witch girl and a cat, it was a deep story about friendship and growing up. In Miyazaki style. That's pretty cool.

My Neighbor Totoro
It was my first Ghibli Film, and I loved that furry forest spirit. I also loved the main theme, and I got myself to find the sheet music and learn it.

Spirited Away
This is self explanatory. It had a great plot along with animation, filled with a few fantasies with a twist of mystery. I find this to be arguably the best anime movie ever made. It also had the most appealing soundtrack and background music.

Princess Mononoke
It had a great message with the dealings between humans and nature, with the former being the more dominant aggressors. It was more mature than the other films, along with Grave of the Fireflies, and the theme was very well placed.

These are just my top three, but I really came to love all the movies.

I'd have said Porco Rosso, but I feel like a terrible person if I don't vote Grave Of The Fireflies. That movie is depressing but so powerful...
