Zac124: Studio Ghibli Films Ranked

Zac124 07.02.22	1 and 2 are practically tied.
DaveyMonsoon 07.02.22	Mononoke is 1 for me, though Spirited might not be too far behind. Totoro and Howl should be higher imo. Interesting placement for Wind Rises too.
Gyromania 07.02.22	Ponyo is way too low. Haven't seen 1, princess mononoke is good but vastly overrated. Kiki at 7 is nice, that's such a good coming-of-age film
foxblood 07.02.22	24 looks like the worst shit imaginable. good ranking tho. Ponyo is a little low. Whisper of the Heart is one that I always liked a lot.
Zac124 07.02.22	Tbf, Ponyo is one I really need to rewatch.
foxblood 07.02.22	From Up on Poppy Hill was pretty weak for me, as was Tales From Earthsea.
foxblood 07.02.22	Ponyo is really solid. even though it is the most generally appealing almost-western style animated movie they have ever made, I think it's one of their best.
BaselineOOO 07.02.22	Weird ranking. Here's mine: 1. Totoro 2. Spirited Away 3. Kiki 4-24. Irrelevant
IsisScript80 07.02.22	"Weird ranking. Here's mine: 1. Totoro 2. Spirited Away 3. Kiki 4-24. Irrelevant" Weird ranking.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 07.02.22	Howl nausica and totoro are too low but I think you caught lightning in a bottle with your snes list and it will be the only time you ever make a list that doesn’t inspire suicidal ideation
foxblood 07.02.22	isn't that because the snes list was by CaliggyJack? did Zac ever make a SNES list?
Trebor. 07.02.22	Only Yesterday is a revelation
Lord(e)Po)))ts 07.02.22	Oh I Thougut this was caliggy 😂😂😂😂😂😂
bgillesp 07.02.22	5 is 1 for me so I’m glad to see it so high. Haven’t seen 2 yet
TalonsOfFire 07.02.22	Don’t know how I’d rank cause a few of these I haven’t seen since I was little. Princess Mononoke, My Neighbor Totoro, and Spirited Away are best. Castle in the Sky, Nausicca, Howls Moving Castle, and The Wind Rises are my next favs in no order. Kiki’s Delivery Service and Ponyo are pretty good and cute, best for children.
Maniac! 07.02.22	grave is a 5/5 for sure
Kompys2000 07.02.22	Props for putting the wind rises that high, really thoughtful, beautiful film despite being more low-key and serious. That said Kaguya is like three times longer than it needed to be and the narration is almost Blade Runner levels of unnecessary, honestly wouldn't make my top 15 and I haven't even seen every Ghibli yet
JohnnyoftheWell 07.02.22	princess mononoke is good but vastly overrated [2] anyone who sticks that film more than (hmm) 2 places above Nausicaa has question to answer, cough up ! that said, i am still way behind on the ghibli universe more widely. Wind Rises is next, i think
menawati 07.02.22	shit had no idea so many, spirited away i saw that was fantastic though
mkmusic1995 07.02.22	Howl's Moving Castle is definitely in the top 5 for me along with Grave of the Fireflies, Spirited Away and Totoro
Kompys2000 07.03.22	I have Mononoke at 2 and Nausicaä at 6 but my whole top 7 is a hella tight race
Cryptkeeper 07.03.22	Porco Rosso at a 3.5 is a travesty, if only because it proves Miyazaki can make a banger movie without endlessly resorting to the magical girl discovers the world trope
Kompys2000 07.03.22	Susan Egan as Gina is one of the best English voice performances in Ghibli, right up there with Billy Crystal as Calcifer/Minnie Driver as Eboshi
BAT 07.03.22	nice ranking, surprised to see nausicaa at 10 buuut ghibli movies are generally pretty high quality. castle is probably my #1
Sharenge 07.03.22	hmmmm in no particular order my top 5 is probably Spirited Away Princess Mononoke Nausicaä Castle in the Sky My Neighbor Totoro been meaning to check Tales from Earthsea for some time I remember liking The Cat Returns more than 3.5/5 need to do a Ghibli marathon and (re)visit these
Lord(e)Po)))ts 07.03.22	Mononoke is vastly better than nausicaa and not overrated at all and it’s not up for debate
Lord(e)Po)))ts 07.03.22	That being said it’s still probably not more than a couple spots above nausicaa regardless
Sinternet 07.03.22	"princess mononoke is good but vastly overrated [2] anyone who sticks that film more than (hmm) 2 places above Nausicaa has question to answer, cough up !" good thing nausicaa is my number 3 then but fr mononoke is my fave film ever
Lord(e)Po)))ts 07.03.22	Good boy
Sabrutin 07.03.22	Porco Rosso too low but I can dig this ranking also just watched Spirited Away at the cinema last night, is it happening all around the world too? July-August cinemas in Italy are showing Spirited Away, Mononoke, Porco Rosso, Howl and Nausicaa
zakalwe 07.03.22	I first saw Laputa in 1988 when it was on the tele. It had a bloody big impact on me, I’ll never forget it.
Kompys2000 07.03.22	Recently watched Laputa for the first time and was a little puzzled by all the high praise I'd seen, not bad by any stretch ofc but didn't have toooooo much setting it apart from the average PG adventure flick besides the animation. Almost comes off like Miyazaki was trying to play it safe while Ghibli were still making a name for themselves
zakalwe 07.03.22	Say that to 8yr old me and I’d have said you were talking absolute cobblers
Sharenge 07.03.22	talk cobblers to me, baby
zakalwe 07.03.22	Cobble Cobble xxx
Egarran 07.03.22	Someone else has seen Pom Poko? Mindblowing movie.
Zac124 07.03.22	Pom Poko is such an underrated film. Loved the Project Spector sequence.
garas 07.03.22	Nausicaa and Mononoke are my absolute favourites. > Pom Poko is such an underrated film. [2]
Kompys2000 07.03.22	Pom Poko is a weird one but probably my fav Takahata. The scene where they're watching TV and the one worker says the magic stuff is freaking him out but he can't afford to move away really struck me- such a ballsy move to portray deforestation as a complex issue with no easy answer, while also unambiguously standing against it.
CalculatingInfinity 07.03.22	Ponyo is way too low [2] However, putting Kaguya so high and putting Howl in the lower end is very based.
Egarran 07.03.22	Howl is def top 5 for me. It's so romantic swoon
Kompys2000 07.03.22	Nah I vibe w/ Ponyo towards the bottom, kind of an annoying and kiddish movie even though it's very possibly the most visually gorgeous thing the studio's done
