I haven't seen any but have always heard good things about them. Which one would you recommend I start with or just, which were your favorites?

I'm pretty sure we had this thread 2 weeks ago.

 

[BronsonLee]

Kiki's, Spirited Away, and The Wind Rises. If it gives context, I saw Kiki's first.

 

[Pegosaurus]

1. Princess Mononke
2. Castle in the Sky
3. Spirited Away

If you don't want to include Nausicaa in their list that's cool, but if you do it would be number 2 on my list.

either way you should watch it

 

[Currygan]

1 - Cagliostro
2 - Spirited Away
3 - Porco Rosso

 

[tchocky]

I have only seen 7 of them but my top 3 are Kiki, Spirited Away and Ponyo.

 

[Moving4Motion]

Spirited Away was the first one I saw and it's still probably my favourite movie of all time if I had to pick one. Something so wonderful about that film.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

i really like porco rosso, nausicaa, and spirited away.

 

[SolicitorPirate]

1) Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
2) Howl's Moving Castle
3) My Neighbour Totoro

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Porco Rosso
Spirited Away
Totoro

 

[Mothman91]

1. Princess Mononoke
2. Porco Rosso
3. Howl's Moving Castle

 

[clem84]

1. Princess Mononke
2. Castle in the Sky
3. Spirited Away

If you don't want to include Nausicaa in their list that's cool, but if you do it would be number 2 on my list.

Nausicaa wasn't on Wiki's list because apparently it was made prior to the studio officially becoming Studio Ghibli? That's my understanding at least. It wasn't an omission on my part.

Judging from the replies, I think I'll start with Spirited away, then Nausicaa.

 

[John Kowalski]

List threads are a no no i think.

Anyhoo.

Princess Mononoke
The Wind Rises
The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness

 

[Don't Laugh]

???

[faint.]

Why?

First post.

 

[manzoman96]

In b4 lock.

Anyway mine are

1. Princess Mononoke
2. My Neighbor Totoro
3. The Wind Rises

 

[Choppasmith]

My absolute favorite is Porco Rosso. After that for me it's Kiki's Delivery Service and Cat Returns (not as epic, sure, but it really has a lot of charm and I feel it's criminally overlooked and underrated)

 

[DECK'ARD]

1) Totoro
2) Mononoke
3) Laputa

 

[Isotope]

1. Spirited Away
2. Princess Mononoke
3. Howl's Moving Castle

Ponyo, My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service just missed the cut.
