    Favorite? I don't understand. It's Miyazaki, for crying out loud!

    It may sound boring, but I really loved Whisper of the Heart. It may be a simple love story, but I loved it so much.

    I've only ever seen one of his films, which was Spirited Away. I probably should watch more of his films...

    Yes you should. Some of my favorites I'd recommend:

    Princess Mononoke
    Castle in the Sky
    Kiki's Delivery Service
    Ponyo
    My Neighbor Totoro

    Really, though, you can't go wrong. All his movies are great.

    Not that I know of. veoh.com has some of them, but you need to download them onto Veoh's player to watch the full thing. You may be best off torrenting.

    Totoro is an instant classic. Everyone should see atleast that :)

    I love most of his films, although it was difficult to adjust to all of the gore in Princess Mononoke.

    I maintain that his three best films are Kiki's Delivery Service, My Neighbor Totoro, and Princess Mononoke. All great for different reasons, and they beat pretty much any Disney film I can think of.

    Studio Ghibli's best film was Grave of the Fireflies, though, which was directed by Isao Takahata. I never cry in movies, and this one had me bawling all day after I watched it for the first time (at age 12).

    Same here.


    I've been wanting to watch both Howl's Moving Castle and Princess Mononoke.

    Ugh. Howl's Moving Castle is awful.
    Princess Mononoke is an awesome, complex film, though. A real work of art.
