I just watched Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle and they blew my mind. I dismissed them at first as typical anime movies which I'm not interested in, but this was completely art! Does anyone else feel the same way? What other movies of his should I watch?

I love those 2. =P Especially Howl's Moving Castle. Fell in love with all the characters.

I recommend Kiki's Delivery Service and Princess Mononoke.

Hmm I love Princess Mononoke A LOT. I also really like Kiki's Delivery Service and Castle in the Sky and totally recommend pretty much all Miyazaki-Studio Ghibli films.

Now that I think about it though, my favorite Miyazaki film, Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro is not a Studio Ghibli film and my favorite Ghibli film, Grave of the Fireflies, is not a Miyazaki film. Go figure. But yeah, once you run out of options go and watch these two as well.

oh wow a miyazaki thread!!
i'm a HUGE fan of Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli!!
I would definitely recommend Laputa (Castle in the Sky) - it's a must watch - hands down!
Then Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away

One thing as to why i LOVE ghibli movies is because the soundtracks are ALWAYS one of a kind and catches your attention straight away

^ agree about the soundtracks - they're always amazing. correct me if im wrong, but mostly joe hiraishi (???) composes the music for the animation

anyways, my favourite miyazaki has got to be My Neighbour Totoro <3 I've probably seen it as many times as i've seen Beauty & the Beast (my fav Disney animation - i've seen it at least 50 times). i also reallllly like pom poko and kiki's delivery service (so cute!!)

If you can handle gory scenes, then Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa are good choices - they've both got good storylines but a bit gross sometimes XD

eeks - this thread has made me wanna watch all the ghibli-miyazaki stuff again

I LOVED Howl's moving Castle.
I completely misjudged by the DVD cover,
because the old woman on the cover had turned me off.
But I watched it, it was SO GOOD.

I would say go google and watch all the Miyazaki animation. They're pretty interesting. None of them has been disappointing so far, but some might be better than others depending on the topics you're interested in. I bought the whole collection minus the recent ones in the past few years cuz I bought it a long time ago before new ones released.

Miyazaki is sooo talented i hope his son can live up to his legacy!!!

i grew up watching Totoro and Laputa: Castle in the Sky (amazing)

i would suggest "Whisper of the Heart" very cute love story but he was the screenwriter for it ^__^

my favorite one in the more recent movies has to be "Howl's Moving Castle" ahhhh so good!

I love Whisper of the Heart. some might find it dragging but I find the pacing of it soothing.

Howl's Moving Castle is my favourite too. in fact, i think i like it more than Diane Wynne Jones' story.

I cried in Spirited Away. I keep calling it a bittersweet ending. I love Haku so much.
after Howl though, my 'favouritest' Miyazaki/Ghibli guy is Amini cooperaka [Mononoke-hime]. cool, tough, heroic.

and I just realized I've watched all Miyazaki-Ghibli films. I shouldn't miss Ponyo when it comes out. Miyazaki and team used pencils instead of computer for the graphics. amazing, eh?

---
ps. i wonder if he's now on speaking terms with his son? Earthsea wasnt bad but it definitely lacked something... the animations were amazing though.

keep your head UP!

yaya im so glad i found this thread!

I love Joe Hisaishi's works (does the music for most...if not all...of Miyazaki-Ghibli films)
in order to refresh my memory of these songs...and Daishi Dance's remixes, i've decided to watch all the Miyazaki-Ghibli films again!

i grew up watching Kiki's Delivery Service and loooved Spirited away. (no face is the cutest thing ever)
yesterday I watched My Neighbor Totoro (watched it once when i was really small) SOOOO CUUUTE!

now off to watch Howl's Moving Castle

yeah i think they were on speaking terms since u know, alot of pressure is on his son because he has to carry his legacy. i saw earthsea too but i wasn't as moved in that film compared to his father's. Then again it's his first! hehe

whisper of the heart was very good i didn't think it was slow at all it was very romantic in a cute way ^___^;; my favorite guy character would be Howl his personality was just SO FUNNY.. melting because his hair color was different? hahaha!!! he's also very charming and mysterious ^___^;;

i keep thinking grave of the fireflies is also done by him because it's also reallly goood! but it isn't ^___^;; wow i cried a river watching GOTF.

Miyazaki's works are always amazing with touching storylines and beautiful soundtracks :]!

I also have the hardest time picking which between those two I like more ^^!
Howl is agreeable hot for an anime character haha.
I have both movies...I think I'm going to re-watch it now.

Kiki's Delivery Service is also one of my favorites by him because it was my very first.
Loved it <3...

heyy thanks to ur recommendation i watched Whisper of the Heart. Its soo cute hahaha...it makes me wish i can find my soulmate that way tho xD too bad they didnt hav many scenes of the main boy

i wanted to see more of him. but overall it was a very cute love story <33

Yea I still cant decide whether I like Howl more or Haku more

Both look hot but I guess Howl is the adult version of Haku aha. When I first saw Howl in the movie, I was like "

" He is so charming and is like a prince xD and he's got magic! haha

And yea, Spirited away has a bittersweet ending. I always feel sad after I watch it (I think i've watched it at least 6 times lol.) It's kind of a forbidden love since Haku is a spirit and Chihiro is a human so I dont think they can ever meet again =( Saddest ending T_T

Studio Ghibli produces so many good anime movies. Im goin to watch "Only yesterday" now. It seems kinda sad.

Kiki's delivery and Whisper of the heart is nice too

and look like there will be a new movie form Studio Ghibli coming out soon this month
