Official Studio Ghibli Movie Thread

[Mercury Adept]

Soon there will be a whole bunch of threads about specific movies, but here is a place you can talk about all of them at once!

There is over 20 Ghibli movies out there, and most of them (if not all) are quality. I have seen quite a few but i'd have to say my favourite is 'Howl's Moving Castle'. Something about that moving keeps making me want to watch it over and over again. Its the cosyness of the house i think ;)

'Spirited Away' and 'Laputa: Castle in the Sky' are also great movies.

What are your favourites?

of the ones I've seen, Pom Poko is brilliant.

I adore adore adore Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, stirs me in a way few other films can.

Then I rate Porco Rosso, Grave of the Fireflies and Princess Mononoke highly.

[Boo!]

Hmm, here goes.

1. Grave of the Fireflies (the only Ghibli film that has brought me to tears... brilliant)
2. Laputa Castle In The Sky (it may have a few flaws, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, a great yarn)
3. Porco Rosso (nice film, some great characters)

I fell asleep halfway through Howl's Moving Castle though, not due to me finding it a boring movie though! Will have to watch it sooner or later...
