Exactly. I'm always blown away by those movies. I don't know what it is. It's all just amazing shit.

My gf is a big fan of these movies.
She collects them, buy's the dvd's and such.
I liked My Neighbor Totoro

Tales from Earthsea was a bit dissapointing after reading the book first.

Yeah, I really liked Howl and all the rest of the Ghibli fare. The funny part about Ghibli is Miyazaki himself. He is a brilliant man who makes amazing movies about passion, love and hope but he himself is a chain smoking, dour, gloomy man who is reputed to be a very poor father. It is hilarious to watch him give interviews... Ayway, I am really excited to see Ponyo sometime next year.

Spirited Away is one of my all time favorite movies and Princess Mononoke is a beautiful one, like a better version of (please don't flame me) Star Wars somehow... *ducks*

Those are 2 of my favorites as well, although I have a soft spot for Totoro

joe hisaishi who wrote the scores to all miyadzaky films (and to most of kitano's work) is absolutely mindblowing

Nausica of the Valley of the Wind is also awesome

For those who like Ghibli stuff:
If you're ever in Tokyo, go see the museum. It's near Kichijoji, and well worth it.
They even have their own Ghibli beer.
What's not to like?
