Your list is missing Nausicaä.

Because they clearly knew that I've seen nausicaa 8)

I really like this movie too

I didn't enjoy the stairs sequence though

I loved Howl's Moving Castle. Right from the opening scene I thought it was enchanting. The book was great, and the movie is a good interpretation of the book. And definitely, there is imagery used that my own imagination couldn't have come up with and it's amazing to see that displayed through the film.

I couldn't say it any better, so I will quote Miriel.

My girlfriend and I absolutely adore this film.

I give a list that I've watched already
Nausicaä oh my I saw the trailer from youtube and I can't wait to watch it
I guess looking at this thread gives me new anime/movies to watch - keep telling me of more movies LOL

BTW I just watched My Neighbor Totoro about 10 minetus ago and it's lovely movie .. specially the cute little girl Mei oh how I adore her ^^

I liked this movie quite a bit.

I have yet to see this, I dont see how Miyazaki can come close to the brilliance that is Castle of Cagliostro so Im not even going to bother with this film.

I didn't like Laputa - The Castle in the Sky

That's a damn shame, since you're gonna miss out on a very good movie. Guess it's up to you, though.

As someone that doesn't watch very much anime and at first thought I wouldn't like it, I was very impressed.

I read the book after I watched it, and definitely enjoyed the movie, but I would have loved a closer rendition. As I understand though, Diana Wynne Jones rather liked it.

This is an excellent movie, but I liked both Spirited Away and My Neighbour Totoro better.

I really don't understand that. You think Howl's might be slightly less good than a different film, so you're not going to watch it? That kind of thinking must stymie your film-choosing process a little, if you've gotta keep watching better and better movies without seeing anything less good...

Yeah, and how can you set Cagliostro as the minimun standard at that?

I mean, it's rare to find a movie NEARLY that good.
