What is your Favorite Studio Ghibli Movie and why?

[Deleted]

Of Course I start.

My Top Studio Ghibli Movie is: Kiki’s Delivery Service (Hayao Miyazaki, 1989)

It has such a innocence to it which I cannot really describe.

Maybe it is because I first saw this Movie when I was around Kikis age. I can pop in this Masterpiece at any time and any mood and it will never make me not smile.

Tough to say... I love them all.

It's a tie between

Grave of the Fire (Oh god THE FEELS)
Princess Mononoke (The first one I saw, you never forget your first time )
Nausica of the valley of the wind (Do I need to explain?)

[sharlez]

Princess Mononoke without a doubt, Spirited Away aint that far behind though.

[Fencers]

Princess Mononoke, coherent and not too cloying.

[kail]

The Secret World of Arrietty. Very moving.

Princess Mononoke is my favorite. Followed by Grave of the Fireflies. The feels in GotF makes it hard to watch though.

[Zantos]

Spirited Away


Kiki's Delivery Service is a close second.

Ps. glad I found this thread. I never knew this studio had so many great films. I usually only watched stuff by Hayao Miyazaki.

Porco Rosso for me, planes and interwar period are awesome. Mononoke is Hisaishi's best soundtrack though.

[Korlok]

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.
For some reason that one always spoke to me.
Probably all the amazing bug monsters.

Truth be told they are all fantastic though, and all Ghibli films hold a special place in my heart.

This would be mine as well for the same reasons listed. It was the first Ghibli film that I saw. Now, if you count the artists work, then Thundercats was years before, but Kiki's was the first official work.

Same here as well. First anime anything I had ever watched, and when I was quite young. Stuck with me for years, and it still holds up.

[Aruhen]

This is a hard question but I think I'll go with The Castle in the Sky. I really love the sense of adventure that the movie has. Kiki's Delivery Service and Spirited Away are not too far away from that first spot though. Nausicaa is also another fantastic one that a lot of people in this thread are going with as their choice. Really good movie with a strong message. In the end though I really love all of them though I have still to see the latest one.

Porco Rosso for the scene with the dead pilots above the clouds.

[Stormcall]

Princess Mononoke, cause, afaik, it's the only one I've seen.

[The Stormbringer]

I don't think I can choose just one. I never could. I do have favorites (plural), however:

Kiki's Delivery Service
Princess Mononoke
Laputa (Castle in the Sky)
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Totoro
Howl's Moving Castle
Spirited Away

Those are my top Ghibli movies! I love all of 'em! I'm pretty sure Totoro is the first anime I ever remember watching as a kid, so it holds a special place.

Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle I guess, but I haven't really gotten around to seeing many/all of them.
