"Kiki's Delivery Service" was my first anime and I will always have a soft spot in my heart for it.
faecaltreacle
He's such a great dude
GeeetttttttDunkedOn
hmm, denying war crimes, publicly treating his son like shit not exactly my take on a "great" dude. he made good stuff but he isnt nice
Oh dang, didn't know that. That makes me sad.

Except to his employees. He makes EA crunch time look like a dream.

But he makes them ramen on Fridays!
NeoShinsoo
Then there is grave of fireflies...
alecdshope
It, too, has its moments, like when they first catch the fireflies or find the cave. They do enjoy their time together.
He didn't do GotF I thought? it was Ghibli but not Miyazaki?
No he didnt bro. Just saying that there are japanese anime like GotF

Grave of Fireflies.
that movie taught me how to cry ugly
I watched it a second time (why?) It was worse because you see the hope, yet know it's all for naught.
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
I wish I’d seen them growing up.
yummilicious
You can still watch them! I recommend Spirited Away. It’s my favorite movie of all time
i3unhaha
Nausicaa of the wind valley is also very awesome
HoneyBunchesOfStoats
Just avoid grave of the fireflies, which is possibly the most depressing film ever made.

Spirited Away was my first Ghibli film. Saw it when I was 14. Such memories :')

This! And anime food is just the best!
Badorsickguy
And I find it hilarious that Miazaki is such a miserable bastard who seems to be totally unable to be happy about anything.
KeisatsuOtaku
Check out his early life and you'll know why. His movies are loosely based on his own childhood.
10tacles
I guess he needs his own movies as much as anyone else. Maybe this is why he always return after being retired.
NightDany
Is he really? Never knew, what makes you think that?
Not sure if he mellowed out but Miyazaki used to wish for mankind to be wiped out and nature taking over again. Like half of the people here
Yup. He is. Check any documentary about him.

I always wanted to watch some of these films, what are your top Ghiblu films I should see?
Doopapotamus
Top 4 (for me) in no order: Spirited Away (fair amount of JP folklore tho), Kiki's Delivery Service, Totoro, The Wind Rises
doctorbocker
Pom Poko has swinging raccoon balls.
JrHunting
Spirited Away is PHENOMENAL
NonstopRampage
Yes.
SophieClockwise
Which ones?
InDubiousBattle
Princess Mononoke for a film that has deep themes. My Neighbor Totoro if you're feeling more like a childhood adventure.
IAmTheToastyOhs
Although I love the feature length movies, On Your Mark makes me cry every time. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2y2269
Nausica and Howl's moving castle are my absolute favourites
Nobody7713
My personal favourite, probably as a result of nostalgia, is Spirited Away
ThisWasATriumph
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is an amazing post apocalyptic sci-fi
FoxFyre
Amazing film.
Just FYI grave of the fireflies is possibly the most depressing movie ever made. Do not watch it if you're looking for something joyful.
My favorite is kiki's delivery service
SaveAChocoboRideAnAirship
Princess Mononoke (about humans vs animals/nature--very powerful film; Grave of the Fireflies (very sad. Follows a brother and sister 1/
During WWII and how the attempt to cope during air raids--it's revealed in the very first scene that they did not survive, but it's a 2/
An* in depth look at some of the harshness of war, while also showing how they tried to make the best of it); Spirited Away (it's about 3/
A young girl who is completely unsure of herself. She is transported to a spirit town and has to find herself along the way. You watch her 4
Grow up as become a stronger person and become more sure of herself). There are lots of great Miyazaki movies, but those are my top 3. /5
You should start with Grave of the Fireflies. It is the best one.
GuardsmanMiku

https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/258/017/8e9.gif
I actually agree with you. It's an amazing powerful film. It's hard to watch, but it's beautiful and a more realistic take on humanity and1/
The horrors of war. A lot of his films are just happy and flight and end on a happy note. Right out of the gate, you know that GotF isn't 2/
Going to have a happy ending. Instead, you're spending time watching this brother and sister try to survive, knowing they don't. But it's 3/
A great movie overall. The way their aunt treats them is horrible, but makes sense during wartimes. It's a sobering film, that's for sure./4
ThePizzaGuyOfJustice
I dunno man, I watched Spirited Away as a kid and that shit gave me nightmares for years...
Mithi
Nightmares that made you behave? A job well done.
Ryebread91
I’ve also come to realize his films don’t always have overly happy endings. So are kinda depressing and some are very melancholy. 1/2
But I’ve realized that’s life for many people. It has good and bad and he’s found the perfect way to show that in his films. 2/2
Misconception from being raised on the over-sugared Disney-endings.
Not really. I do enjoy a happy ending. But I also like an ending where things are resolved.
Except Grave of the Fireflies. That one has a happy ending, right?
Right buddy. They all lived happy and found world peace after that.

Unless you're a woman who wants to direct in which case Miyazaki has some strong feelings.

Pirate it, a lot of them can be found on the same places you can find other anime. I suggest Howls Moving Castle and Spirited Away the most.
HBO Max has two sections dedicated to him respect.

I looked up "list of miyazaki films" one day and didn't look at any synopsis. I was not prepared.

While not as depressing, when Marnie was there had me ugly crying as a grown ass man. Not Miyazaki but still Ghibli.

I've only seen it twice, and I don't think I can watch it a third time. I'm a sobbing mess by the end of it.

I have yet to watch it ;-; not sure if I'm ready to cry
Its a great anime which I will never watch it.

CanadaDad
This is my favorite Ghibli film. It isn't the prettiest but I love the amount of energy in it. Totoro is a very close second.
I love the robots that take care of the animals and gardens
None of them are underrated. They are all highly rated.

Spirited away and Totoro are my favorite :)

Totoro is Japanese Mary Poppins, change my mind.
The umbrella is uncanny and the magic.

Absolutely. 3rd.
I'm still waiting to watch Spirited away. There aren't many Miyazaki films left for me to watch... Trying to save some.
I get that! I just watched kikis like a week ago! Have you seen howls moving castle?
Yes! It was fantastic. These movies are always so welcoming.
