What's Studio Ghibli's best work to date? Anime Insider asked it, so I guess it should be posted here as well?

Other...Kiki's Delivery Service.

other... The Cat Returns (I love that movie!) cause you didn't specifically say Miyazaki!
Although I also love Castle of Cagliostro ^^ Not exactly Ghibli, but yeah. Or maybe I should just say that they're all good in their amazing ways. But since Cat had lots of kitties in it I just had to say that^^ Now I wanna see Whispers of the Heart!

Well, I've only seen three so far, so...
Castle in the Sky was pretty good (and actually made sense). Princess Mononoke felt a little like a tree huggers movie and got really wierd at the end (but it was pretty!
). Spirited Away was also good, but... it kinda wierded me out, too (NoFace.....).
Oh! I still wanna see Howl's Moving Castle...

It's because it's a cheaply done bootleg.
Priness Monoke for me.

Hmm...Howl, Spirited, and Castle were all really good, but my final vote goes to Nausicaa.
PostPosted: Thu Sep 15, 2005 5:13 pm
Spirited Away is one of my favorite favorite anime movies of all time, and definitely my favorite Ghibli movie [of which I've seen].

Howl's Moving Castle was pretty good. And I own both My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away but I have to watch them... Gosh, so much anime not enough time

Same here. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is my fav. It was the first anime I saw (I didn't even know what anime was back then) and it hooked me. Spirited Away was also good though.

Kiki's Delivery Service and The Cat Returns! Woot ^^
Ghibli is awesome ^^
I still haven't seen Howl's Moving Castle or Laputa Castle in the Sky, but I'm sure thats up there too.

My fave is probably Mononoke Hime. (*ahem* REAL title)
The cat's return was also quite enjoyable.

::high fives:: THANK YOU! I KNEW THERE WAS AN OLDER PERSON WHO LIKED MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO! I KNEW I WASN'T ALONE!
I loved Totoro, and I got Spirited Away: both are the best of the best! Of course Mononoke Hime rocks my socks!

You mean Neko no Ongaeshi, the REAL title?

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is on the short list of my favorites period. It’s definitely my favorite Studio Ghibli. (Although, technically, it pre-dates Ghibli, but they own the rights to it.)

I think Hotaru no Haka (Grave of the Fireflies) is the greatest Ghibli film because it sends such a strong, important message about how horrible the effects of war are. A must see, but have a big tissue box ready.
After that, it has to be Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi (Spirited Away). Simply spectacular, and one of my 5 favorite all time films (along with Haka *points to the above paragraph*). Beautiful animation and music, fantastic characters and story, amazing written and directed, a true masterpiece film that deserves every bit of credit it is given. It couldn't have deserved its Academy Award any more.
And granted, I think every Ghibli film is amazing and a must see, but the above two top my list.

That's such a hard choice! Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke are pretty much tied in first for me, but all the Studio Ghibli films I've seen are excellent.
PostPosted: Mon Sep 19, 2005 9:20 pm
Man this is hard.
Howl's Moving Castle, Castle in the sky, spirited away. nausicca, and mononoke are all amazing ...
but ya know ...
I think I'll pick Howl just for being so ... well ... excuse my french but f***ed up ...
it was really trippy i mean
I could probably watch spirited away the most times in a row though

Howl's Moving Castle is my favorite, with Spirited Away in a close second. ^^

I think the BEST Ghibli movie is Hotaru no Haka but my favorite to watch is Mononoke Hime... I can't watch Grave of the Fireflies too much, it's much too sad, but it is one of the most important anime ever made. (not to get into politics, I am not anti-war, I am just in support of reality... Not watering anything down, and I think Hotaru pulled that off very effectively... For that reason, and the lack of anything fantastic (not counting the orange scenes which were entirely symbolic) this was an incredible movie.)
Fireflies was leaps and bounds better than Totoro, the movie it was released with... I thought Totoro was ok, though.

What is Grave of the Fireflies about/like? I've heard of it around, but I have no clue on it. @.@

"Spirited Away" is my favourite movie of anything, so I voted for that one.
But I think that Studio Ghibli, and Hayao Miyazaki, are amazing.

Well to me Princess Mononke is the best film ever to come out of Studio Ghibli and Nausicca is pretty good as well.
