Greatest miyazaki film

Hey guys, I am new here and I am big fan of Miyazaki. Just wanted to find out what the consensus is on the (Mod edit) greatest. Thus far, I am leaning towards "Spirited Away," "Princess Mononoke" and "Nausicaa..."

Also, could you guys give me some more ideas on what to get into, watch, etc? I just recently bought "Akira," great, and "Perfect Blue" which I have yet to watch. I also own "ghost in the shell."

thanks.

Mod Edit, Now it's no longer a Favorite thread! Let's keep this going!!!

Definately watch Perfect Blue.
Try to formulate your qestion in a different way because favourite threads get the gas chamber treatment here.
A thread about Miyazaki certainly has alot of potential to become a good discussion...

hmmmm.... a discussion on Miyazaki?

The man is amazing as is Studio Gibli. Their work is totally marked with excellence beyond compare. I'm enjoying the Disney releases, it's nice to get unhacked versions of thier movies, but I want to know what is being released in Japan!

Is there any way to get newer releases? (Mind you I can't read or understand Japanese....guess I'm probably out of luck.) Even a plot synopsis would be appreciated.

Is there any other Japanese studio's that can even compare in quality? If so, what have they released?


My favorite part of Miyazaki's films is the way even the incidental characters take on a life of their own. Down to the "radish spirit" in "Spirited Away".

thanks Hassun. i'm not going to lie, i don't truly know a lot about the dynamics of anime or japanese animation. i do love it and do enjoy to watch it. i will definitely wath perfect blue tonight. i remember the first time i actually watched a miyazaki film. it was princess mononoke, maybe four years ago, or three. my cousin let me borrow on a whim and i plopped down, put it into the surround sound theater and watched. brilliant stuff. i love the way he paints emotion. it is so powerful yet subtle. and the ones i have seen have a certain magical quality to them that is so incredible inviting and, to be perfectly honest, mesmerizing. i am pretty sure i prefer the miyazaki stories compared with the more violent likes of akira and ghost in the shell, although both great films. the violence reminds me of kill bill, in a way. this otherworldly, brilliantly colorful grotesque deterioration.

i own porco rosso, spirited away, mononoke, nausicaa of the miyazaki films. i was thinking about buying castle in the sky and the cat returns. any others?

Try this LINK if you want some info on mr Miyazaki

If you're interested in more of mr Miyazaki's work I also recommend
"Laputa: Castle in the sky",
"Kiki's delivery service",
"My neighbour Totoro" and
"Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro" (You'll need some Lupin background for that one though).

yeah perfect blue is definitely a good movie, but it gets really confusing as it gets into the middle part...

do check out grave of the fireflies too, donno if I can call it "great" because it's more like "powerful" than "great"

Whew. I've just had a reality slapper. I never knew Miyazaki did "Kiki's Delivery Service". That is by far my favorite. Every time I watch it I cry.

By reputation, the only significant Miyazaki movies that has yet to be US Region 1 released in a uncut form is 'My Neighbor Totoro' (which was release as part of a double header with 'Graves of the Fireflies') and the newly released film 'Howl's Moving Castle', which has made so much in the Japanese Box Office that it has only been surpassed by 'Spirited Away'. Until these two Movies get released in uncut form, it would be hard to judge what is the greatest of the Miyazaki films...

And if you end up liking 'Perfect Blue', you should try 'Mellennium Actress' and 'Tokyo Godfathers', both movies were runners up for the best animation film Oscar Award and done by the same director Satoshi Kon, and his first Anime TV series 'Paranoia Agent'...
