Maaaaaaaaaaaan, have you seen the cast for the English version of that movie? It's soooooo bad. It's like some Jonas brother, a Cyrus sibling and Tina Fey. It has Liam Neeson, but there's only so much he can do.

Well at least your excuse is acceptable. Also, I pretty much like every Ghibli film, theres still some I haven't seen yet like Grave of the Fireflies, Only Yesterday, Pom Poko, Whisper of the Heart & My Neighbours The Yamadas.
I'm just here for the Butterbeer.

That pretty much goes against Miyazaki's entire style-what about san, chihiro, or that chick from howl (who I don't care about)? If there's one thing he tries to stay away from, it's generic weak females.
yeah, I love whisper of the heart-it's really charming and warm. It wasn't actually directed by Miyazaki though, he assisted with the script and you can see his influence all over it. The director was Yoshifumi Kondō-his first and last film, since he died of heart problems soon after. It's too bad because he had so much potential.
As for Miyazaki flicks, I grew up with them and they are still some of the best anime out there. Mononoke is a masterpiece and will always be my favorite, but spirited away is right up there as well. I feel like he's slowed down recently with Howl, since I didn't feel that usual charm of his in that movie.
Has anyone seen ponyo? I love his epic-scale pictures, but loved stuff like totoro when I was younger too.

My first movie was My Neighbor Totoro which we had on VHS when I was a kid.
I've also seen
-Kiki's Delivery Service
-Princess Mononoke
-Spirited Away
-Howl's Moving Castle
I have the other movies, but I still need to watch Castle in the Sky, Nausicaä, Porco Rosso, The Cat Returns, etc.

If you're in for a real tear-jerker, you should really watch Grave of the Fireflies. It's a really sad story.

I tried watching Castle in the Sky but I couldn't sit through it. I thought it was boring. Same with My neighbor Totoro, but I think I was multitaking so I didn't get to enjoy the movie as much as I wanted to.

I hadn't heard of the English cast for Ponyo, and in fact, I didn't really like it as much as the others, but really. A Jonas brother and a Cyrus sister as the two main characters? Disgrace!

It was... mediocre. The plots went everywhere, and there were lots of plots. Though I do have a soft spot since the main character seemed like a Japanese, female version of me.
...mm. Japanese, female version of me...

And uh... maybe it's just me and my family but I don't think this movie made any sense. At all. It was still pretty epic I think with awesome images, and colors, and adorableness. But we walked out of the theater (after laughing hysterically at the end credits song) and looked at each other and asked "Wait... what the fuck just happened?"
So yeah um... not my favorite Miyazaki film.

I sort of agree. ^_^;; I mean, it was cute and all, and had a nice little story but... it wasn't nearly as moving as the other Miyazaki films I've seen. I still liked it, but I definitely like movies such as Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle over it. Plus, some parts were just... well, sort of cheesy. >_>

Nii is in the Philippines. I really want to see a Miyazaki film on the big screen for a change. Here's to hoping the distributors reconsider... *crosses fingers* x(>.<)x

At least for me, it seems like a lot of Miyazaki films don't make sense at first... I have to watch them multiple times to understand it sometimes
...Maybe I'm just slow... 
Anyways, I really wanna see Ponyo still :3

Agreed. There always seems to be that underlying meaning in Miyazaki films that you won't usually get the first time.
I watched Ponyo yesterday, got myself a nice torrent; Japanese with subsDONTJUDGEME!! ;_; *ehem* Anyhoo... Yeah, I got the exact same impression I get when I first watched Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away; I thought everything crumbled towards the end, like the pacing was too fast or rushed. But I dunno, I might just not get what the movie is trying to say right now. I should watch it again some time.

Howl's Moving Castle
Spirited Away
Princess Mononoke
My Neighbor Totoro
Nausicaa: Princess of the Valley of the Wind
The Cat Returns
Castle in the Sky
Porco Rosso
Castle of Cagliostro
Kiki's Delivery Service
and I have yet to see Ponyo, Grave of the Fireflies, My Neighbors the Yamadas, Whisper of the Heart, and a few others. Some of those I just mentioned are Ghibli but Miyazaki, btw. :)
and yeah, HMC seemed a bit rushed, but I still luff it to death. And I had huge crushes on Howl and Haku, and a bit on Ashitaka, when I first saw them. My favorite character out of all of them is San (aka Princess Mononoke), and Calcifer is a close second. And the Totoros, Susuwatari, and Kodama are SO KAWAII!!!!!:)
