Favourite Studio Ghibli movie?

[Jarrad]

Only just noticed that TBT doesn't have a single thread devoted to Studio Ghibli movies... (and if it does then I'm probably just blind).

My favourite is Kiki's delivery service

I've always had a strange relationship with ghibli movies ever since I was a young kid. I remember one day my mum brought home a rented video of Spirited away and me and my brother watched it several times before we had to return it to blockbuster (rip). It seemed so magical watching it at a young age and then revisiting it in my adulthood. It used to be my utter most favourite movie of all time up until the point I watched Kiki's delivery service. It's a crying shame that Miyazaki has retired (finally) and that the studio is going down a more 3d-animated route. Part of the magic of ghibli films was the pristine 2d-animated graphics.


I was going to post a poll but it wouldn't let me.. thread ruined :x

Spirited Away. Princess Mononoke is a close second.

Spirited Away is my absolute favorite. When I was 8, the movie came out. I loved it so much that I'd watch it over and over, literally. I would watch it and start it up again. As long as my grandpa wasn't home, my grandma allowed it since she was off doing other things.
My second favorite is tied though between Kiki's Delivery Service and Princess Mononoke. Kiki's Delivery Service was my first Ghibli movie as a child and I watched it a lot, just not in the same fashion as I did with Spirited Away. It's hard for me decide because while that one has a special place in my heart, I absolutely love the story of Princess Mononoke.

Spirited Away, hands down. My Neighbor Totoro comes in second, and The Wind Rises is in third place.

I've only ever seen My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, and Ponyo, so out of those I'd have to say Kiki's Delivery Service. I watched it A LOT as a kid.

Kiki's Delivery Service

Kiki's all the way.
Just got a canvas wallscroll I need to find a place for.

I love all of their master pieces. If I have to pick my favorite, it'd have to be Howl's Moving Castle. I enjoy that film so much I learned many of Joe Hisaishi's songs on the piano.

I was going to buy something like this! I was trying to find one of the original designs for the promotional posters & I was going to frame it and put it on my wall.

This is the one I was trying to find a physical copy of

I've only seen maybe two or three of their films, so out of those, Howl's Moving Castle. Princess Kaguya was a good film, but the bitter ending made it a bittersweet film. I do want to watch Spirited Away, though.

I watched When marnie was there and it was surprisingly really good for what could be ghibli's last movie!

 

[shunishu]

i watched grave of the fireflies on tv when i was ten or so.. i cried so hard </3

 

[MyLifeIsCake]

I was going to say Spirited Away but I think I like Howls Moving Castle a tiny bit more... My Neighbor Tortoro for nostalgic reasons (first SG movie I saw when I was about four, I remember being in awe of whimsical it looked)

I loved marnie too.
really hope it won't be the last, there's in the very least posibility for sequels etc. hideaki anno was rumoured for nausica? sequels.. since there's so much more in miyazaki-san's mangas.
I'm so glad he got to voice the main character in wind rises. <3

it seems like most of the team are doing sideprojects atm.. we'll see what happens, once they figure out, where to go from here..
