12.05.12 | Oh, now why's Kiki so low? That one's my favorite! Granted, he is kind of a God in all his work, so... Yeah, I guess, in perspective, it's a fine spot for it. |
Trebor.
12.05.12 | Haven't seen em all but for me:
Spirited Away
Kiki's Delivery Service
My Neighbor Totoro
Princess Mononoke
Ponyo
Howl's Moving Castle
Lupin The Third
Porco Rosso (Only saw 15 minutes of it cuz the disc I rented was all fucked and it was their only copy) |

ApexPredator

12.05.12 | For me Castle in the Sky and Porco Rosso are higher but apart from Ponyo they're all amazing. |
Winrar
12.05.12 | Kiki's Delivery service rules and would be somewhere in my top 3. it's really hard to rank these movies so i'm not going to bother. |
Hyperion1001
12.05.12 | naussica is the best because most of his movies after naussica were basically retreading the same themes over and over and over
kon > miyazaki anyways |
TMobotron
12.05.12 | 1 and 2 are definitely my 1 and 2 as well. Spirited Away is so fucking amazing. |

12.05.12 | secret life of arrietty??? |
mifzal
12.05.12 | Isao Takahata's Grave of the Fireflies > any Miyazaki self involved output
but still he's great! |
TMobotron
12.05.12 | GotF was a fucking great movie and sad as hell. It's way more emotionally involving than most of Miyazaki's stuff, but Spirited Away and Mononoke beat it out for me just because of the imaginative worlds they put you in. |

he's work is indeed very authentic! true to fantasy genre but he has his own niche of displaying unique visuals! |
TMobotron
12.05.12 | Yeah his visual style is just unbelievable to me. I do think GotF needs to be talked about more when bringing up the whole Ghibli group of movies though, I try to recommend that to a lot of people because it's a great movie that unfortunately sometimes gets overshadowed by Miyazaki's stuff. |
mifzal
12.05.12 | i know that both movies belong to different genres but we can compare them based on which made the
most of it's genre! i mean war moves are supposed to be moving and sad and fantasy movies are suppose
to be imaginative! |
TMobotron
12.05.12 | Both are insanely captivating though |
Polyethylene
12.05.12 | Swap 3 and 5 for me |
Gyromania
12.05.12 | no way is ponyo last |
PistolPete
12.05.12 | Great list! I agree with all except ponyo you gotta give a reason for placing it that low wtf man that movie's soooo cuuuuuttee =] |
TMobotron
12.05.12 | Yeah Ponyo's great and all but everything Miyazaki's done has been awesome, something had to be last. What is worse than it? |
PistolPete
12.05.12 | When I watched ponyo I did have that little tiny feeling that the movie lacked balls/risks, but iunno, soooo low.
Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke are masterpieces. |
Gyromania
12.05.12 | you didn't like it as much because it didn't take risks? seriously? |
TMobotron
12.05.12 | I really like Ponyo but it's cute in a way that appeals more to younger audiences I think, which is great and all and I still really liked it, but something I love about Miyazaki's stuff is that it's great for young and old audiences alike, which is something a lot of modern movies (with the exception of most pixar stuff) don't capture at all. |

12.05.12 | I don't hate Ponyo, but I do think it's his weakest film. It's just not as engaging, and the last like 20 minutes are infuriating. It is adorable though, I'll give you that. |
jeremologyy
12.05.12 | And I don't think GotF is better than all of Miyazaki's work. Some, yes. If I put it in this list (which would defeat the purpose of this list) I would probably place it between Howl and Totoro, but only just. It's a beautiful, moving piece of work though and deserves to be more widely seen. |
Negator
12.05.12 | I love this man, he honestly makes the best anime movies that are so full of imagination and shit. 4 would be 2 for me other than that the order is pretty much correct good list |
