The first one I saw from Studio Ghibli was Nausicaa and stuck on me. Great storyline and characters!
Then I saw Totoro which was kiddish but I still enjoyed it. And then the latest one I saw was Princess Mononoke
on DVD before I saw any of the reviews and loved it. It ranked up there with Nausicaa in my mind.
When Nausicaa and the others come out on DVD, I'll be there to snatch them up. ^_^

To my understanding "Grave of the Fireflies" is not technically a Ghibli title.

However, Laputa is still one of my all time favorites...
but Kiki's Delivery Service, Pompoko and Whispers of the Heart are all up thre as well...

I'd never know how to pick a favorite, though.

I honestly feel that Ghibli is the finest animation studio that currently exists.

Yes it is.

It was directed by Isao Takahata and released as part of a double bill with My Neighbout Totoro.

The only film mentioned here that isn't technically a ghibli movie is Nausicaa as it was made before "Ghibli" was formed but the crew who made Nausicaa did move on to Studio Ghibli, obviously

You might be thinking GoF isn't ghibli because it's not part of Disney's licensing deal which focused primarily on the Miyazaki directed movies.

Actually... I went to Nausicaa net and I see I was mistaken.

I thought Grave was not part of the Disney Deal because the film was not officially a Ghibli title... but it turns out that it was distributed through a different company... and THAT is why it isn't in the Disney Deal.

Speaking of which, I wish Disney would release a Kiki DVD... hell... they released the Subtitled VHS a dubbed VHS... so all the stuff is there!

By far the best I have seen in 'Laputa', it is just a wonderful story and beautifully animated. I am also partial to 'Kiki's Delivery Service'. I liked many of the others but less so.

Mononoke Hime, beautifle and presents a new twist on common themes in movies. The plot is interesting and the characters are realistic in their portrayl.

I love them all, but I think Mononoke and Kiki's Delivery Service are mine.
On your Mark was great too though. Castle in the Sky actually should be tied with Kiki's since whennever I think of Kiki's Deliver Service I think of that Castle in the Sky.

I love Studio Ghilbi >_<

Perhaps that's why I like Vlad's Memory Dance so much...

I like Spirited Away a lot, but Princess Mononoke is the best. How can you beat three decapitations?!?!

really? only three mutilations?
Mononke is my favorite movie! But I still love Totoro and Sprited Away!
Kiki is good, and whatever the one with Lupin in it is funny! (Castle of Cagliostro I think)
