I've seen a lot of Ghibli movies and it's hard to pick a favourite, especially since I grew up on them and some of them I've watched maybe once over 10 years ago (looking at you Ponyo).

Special mentions

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984) It was my first "Ghibli film". (was made before the studio was founded but largely considered a Ghibli film.) There was also a certain eeriness to it, one of my first introductions to something post-apocalyptic in film/media it was foreign and scary and I think it really amplified the nature of the all consuming toxic forest.

Porco Rosso (1998), although not the first film to portray a depiction of a non-fictional war in our history or heavy anti-war sentiment, It's the first one I watched set in a non-fictional world and it's definitely more palatable than Grave of Fireflies (1988) which had me crying in like the first 5 minutes, It wasn't an enjoyable watch, it was depressing even if it was a great film. I think the interesting tidbit about this film is that Miyazaki's father was the director of a company that produced fighter planes during World War II and although Miyazaki usually made anti-war films as a form of direct rebellion/rejection of his father's business it's extremely topical: Fighter planes, World War... Anyway Porco Rosso had a talking pig so I like it.

Howl's Moving Castle (2004), the Ghibli film that I've probably seen the most? Its a solid film etc, I don't have much to say on it but... by golly: "Merry Go Round of Life" what an amazing score. The music carries the film for me and I'm not going to lie haven't watched it since I got into boys since I watched it when I was a lot younger but I wouldn't mind re-watching it for the dreamboat that is known as Howl.


Favourite film
The Cat Returns (2002), now... is there some recency bias here? Uh... maybe, for transparency it's 100% the last Ghibli film I watched. Still I can't say a single thing bad about it, and it was just such an incredible watch experience. with so much sh*t going on in the real world, I can't help but desire the more simple and innocent qualities of a kids/family movie. I went into the film, having a not amazing time and complicated time irl and what I got was an straight forward story, a little bit of fun, adventure, a mystery and some release and honestly, sometimes that's all you need. The cast was serviceable and all had their quirks and traits that made them entertaining and unique, and heck yeah he's a cat but the male lead is just so gentlemanly and dashing can't help but fuss about him when he's on screen haha. Will definitely be watching this again, I don't have a comfort film but I think this might be it.
