Though I really want to see Arrietty. I've always like the story of the borrowers from the 1997 film and that BBC indie film so hoping to see this sometime.
Shame I'm probably too late to catch it in the cinema.

Hey now I loved Ponyo. Sure it was for kids but hey so's the lion king. Plus it had LIAM NEESON playing an amazing water wizard man.

Oh, I loved Ponyo, don't get me wrong. I just felt after coming off of Howl's Moving Castle, it didn't quite live up to what I was hoping. Aside from that though, it was a fantastic movie. As always, the art was gorgeous, especially the opening cinematic. That was some of the most brilliant animation I've ever seen.
@Wooster: Yeah, just came out yesterday! Get with the times!

Wherever. It depends on your taste, really.
Do you like fantasy? Do you like stories with a moral (I always seem to think that the SG films have morals)?
They're all amazing, but most would say start with Spirited Away, because that's the one that has gotten the most praise (in the form of an oscar, no less). But just start with any, and see what you think. They're all very diverse and not one film is alike.
Love triangles, friendship, action, sadness, badass cats, monsters, memories, witches, following your ambition. They have it all

@Professor Wright, My favorites were Kiki's Delivery Service, Princess Monnoke, Howl's Moving Castle, and of course Spirited Away. Of course these are just a small fraction of Studio Ghibli's repetoir.
I'm Blak, and I have shit taste.

Though I recommend if you watch Spirited Away you watch it seriously without friends. Watched it at a party for the first time. I ruined it for a friend of mine who is deeply in love with that film with comments about how I love the manliness of the Dads chin and how the mother clearly has junk in the trunk.

Gotta admit, I wasn't too impressed by Spirited Away or Howl's Moving Castle. Howl's Moving Castle seemed to have all the conflict be background items. That... really confused me. As for Spirited Away, I don't really know, but it never fully sat with me. Oddly enough I enjoyed Ponyo more then those two movies.

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! I just remembered that even existed and I had a total "holy crap that was a great movie"

Has anyone seen the Studio Ghibli movie "Ocean Waves"? I saw that a while back and found it really great.

Also, Miyazaki invented Dr. Eggman.

According to Wikipedia, I've yet to see any Ghibli film between Castle in the Sky and Princess Mononoke, which are, oddly enough some of my favorite movies. The ones that have caught my eye are Grave of the Fireflies, My Neighbor Totoro. I'd like to see them sometime.

I'd also highly recommend Kiki's Delivery Service and Porco Rosso as well if you get the chance. The former didn't quite appeal to me at first, but it was much better than I had initially believed.

Which version are you referring to? I picked up a copy of the 2000 dub late last year and cringed terribly in the contrast to the Streamline dub from the early 90's, even if it was supposedly more faithful to the original Japanese dialogue. ^^'

Did any Ghibli fan in NA get the chance to watch Goro Miyazaki's From up on a Poppy Hill when it was screened at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival last year? :)

That one. It's the only exposure to Lupin I have, and I am very satisfied with it.

Streamline didn't do the first dub of Laputa; it was done by a company very quickly and cheaply.
But I'm sure he's referring to either the Japanese version or the 2003 Disney dub, since those are the two commercially available right now. Personally, I think the Disney dub of Castle in the Sky is fantastic and in many ways adds to the film, especially in the performances of its cast and beautiful extended music. Of course it has its faults, however, Mark Hamill, Cloris Leachman, the pirates, and the new score all made it worthwhile.
By contrast, I found the Streamline/JAL dub awful and lifeless; nobody there sounded like they were turning in a good performance, unlike the folks in Disney's dub. Needless to say, it only convinced me that the Disney dub was the better of the two.
Now I am not usually against older '90s/80s dubs. The older dubs for Totoro and Kiki were solid, and compared favorably to their Disney counterparts, but Laputa? No way. Disney's dub is the better version for me.

Cagliostro was dubbed twice, once by Streamline and then a second time by Manga Entertainment... they're significantly different in terms of dialogue and character development, strangely enough. You wouldn't think so with such minor modifications, but it's quite a different film in relation to characters.
Wooster: If you're referring to the box art, that's for the Streamline dub, the best one in my opinion. Any release with this art refers to the newer dubbing. =)

I've only viewed Lupin on Netflix, and it used the box art that's currently on Wikipedia. I personally aren't too worried that I may have gotten the lesser dub. It was excellent, and that's all that matters to me =)

Holy s**t that was good.
I can't describe what I loved about it, but I recommend it.Now, I have to rent all of Miyazaki's other movies.

Oh, I didn't realize that you meant "Cagliostro". My apologies. ^_^
But yeah, "Laputa" is one of my favorite films, and I just adore the dub. I find it baffling that anyone can say it's unlistenable because it's anything but. It's not without its faults, but they're minor IMO and I can't get enough of it.
"Cagliostro" I only saw the second Manga dub, and to be honest, I really liked it a lot; it was amusing to hear Solid Snake as Lupin. But I do think they laid the profanity on a little too thick; I could have done without it. I DID hear clips of the Streamline dub, but I'm kinda torn over which version I like better; they both have their pros and cons.

Definately worth the watch because Studio Ghibli films are amazing. But if you're expecting action and suspense, you're not going to get much, like in Kiki's Delivery Service.
And I now ship Sho/Arrietty. (Since Sho was obviously infactuated with her.

i liked arriety, but not as much as all the others i'd have to say.
i thought calling them borrowers was kinda funny, i mean do they really give back the stuff they take?
my friend keeps telling me to watch whisper of the heart, but i haven't gotten around to doing that yet.

I don't have a favourite Ghibli movie. I thought about it for awhile, but they are all just too good. Nausicaa stood out for me though. It's very rare movies like that have such a satisfying ending.

wow, i totally forgot about nausicaa! i remember watching it as a child, but under the title 'warriors of the wind' and i actually still have the tape haha but nowhere to play it. i don't think i can add it to my list of ghibli movies watched though, as i read on wiki that it was heavily edited and basically just a complete travesty of the real nausicaa.
i need to watch the real thing one of these days.

You need to. It is one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. Honestly, you must buy it. Now. The music in it is outstanding. It has become my official revision music.

The only films that I thought were only okay would be "Only Yesterday," and "Pom Poko." Miyazaki was not the director and usually only served as producer or planner. The director Isao Takahata's work really isn't my cup of tea with the exception of the emotionally depressing Grave of the Fireflies. I can say with certainty though that Miyazaki's directorial works represent the finest that animation has to offer.
Arriety was good, though Miyazaki was only co-writer and planner. The animation was beautiful (as it always is for Studio Ghibli), but I kinda felt that the story didn't really go anywhere. That's not to say that it's bad or anything, just a notch lower then what I usually expect from Studio Ghibli.
My favorite Miyazaki films are Castle of Cagliostro, Princess Mononoke, and Spirited Away.

I haven't read up too much on it. I know it's directed by Goro, but I've heard it is so much much better than his previous movie. Honestly, I'm quite looking forward to it.

I look forward to any Studio Ghibli film that comes out in the states because there's not that much 2D animation these days. Not that I'm saying that 3D animation sucks, in fact, I think 3D animation has improved over the years, I adore Megamind and Madagascar 3, The Lorax, etc.

I was impressed with From Up on Poppy Hill, though.
I wasn't really sure about it before, but now I'm really looking forward to it.
When does it come out in Europe?
