An absolutely brilliant movie that's elegant, intriguing, and beautiful all at the same time.

One of Miyazaki's best, without a doubt. I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it.

It's amazing.

When I was in Japan earlier this year, I backpacked some mountains near Iwakune. Bamboo everywhere reminded me soo much of this movie. Miyazaki has a way with visuals :)

Yeah, its an amazing movie. One of his best, if not the best. Definitely his most mature one. Some pretty cool themes and gore going on in it.

I'm not going to let any of you finish because Castle in the Sky was the best Miyazaki film. I dunno Ponyo just seemed kinda creepy to me.

Lets just all agree that Ponyo was never made. I loved Castle in the sky as well. Awesome movie. Howls was also good, one of the few recent films that I can actually stand Christian Bales voice since it isnt all gravely. Ending is very weak compared to the rest of the film

On that note, Paprika was better than anything Miyazaki ever did.

That and Tokyo Godfathers.

Princess Mononoke is a very good movie. So is Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Howl's Moving Castle is pretty good, too.

This, but honestly all of his films are among the best. Hell, most people who hate anime even like his films.

I preferred Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle was good too.

I thought Ponyo was actually cute, but I'm a sucker for fairy tales. >_>

Spirited Away was my first Miyazaki film, and I've been hooked ever since.

In fact I might start watching anime if some of it is even remotely as good as Miyazaki's films. O____O

Mononoke was OK. I really couldn't get into it. To be honest, I really couldn't get into any of Miyazaki's works.

I thought Howl's moving castle was boring.

I loved the animation and the characters, but the overall story was executed poorly. He tried to convey his protest against Iraqi war with Howl's pacifist personality but ended up just wasting character potential. We ended up not really learning much about any of them. I don't care that he didn't copy the book but the alternative wasn't that great.

Animation-wise, I'd agree it was the best artwork his studio has ever done.

Oh I definitely agree it's a great movie. But if you want to see truly outstanding anime movies, you should definitely watch the Kara no Kyoukai movies (in particular, 3, 5, and 7 are outstanding) and the Rebuilding of Evangelion movies.

It's a solid movie, enough that I'm having someone do a sig with that and Spirited Away in it, but it's a movie I can see someone disliking, it comes down to taste. Also, is there a big difference in quality between the Japanese and Miramax dub versions?

And now I'll go watch Castle in the Sky. Hopefully the Disney dub is decent, since that's the version I rented.

I saw it recently and thought it was good, but Spirited Away to me is Miyazaki's best film.
