He moves back to his hometown with his wife, where he answers an ad for what Daigo thinks is a travel agency but is, in actuality, a mortuary.Worth the Academy Award it recieved. Loved seeing Ryoko Hirosue, hadn't seen her since I watched DoroDoro. People who are not familiar with Japanese culture, may not understand. I would suggest people that have a basic understanding of the culture to watch this film.
- DirectorHayao MiyazakiStarsDaveigh ChaseSuzanne PleshetteMiyu IrinoDuring her family's move to the suburbs, a sullen 10-year-old girl wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches and spirits, and where humans are changed into beasts.Animated masterpiece and also worthy of the Academy Award it recieved.
- DirectorHayao MiyazakiStarsKirsten DunstMinami TakayamaRei SakumaA young witch, on her mandatory year of independent life, finds fitting into a new community difficult while she supports herself by running an air courier service.A film all little girls should see and a film that was remarkably done with such refined beauty.
- DirectorHayao MiyazakiStarsSumi ShimamotoMahito TsujimuraHisako KyôdaWarrior and pacifist Princess Nausicaä desperately struggles to prevent two warring nations from destroying themselves and their dying planet.Slow at times but every moment is worth it to see this wonderful piece of history. If I ever have a daughter I will make sure this is one of the first films she ever sees.
Fight for what you believe in , be willing to die for your cause, and always take care of nature. - DirectorHayao MiyazakiStarsShûichirô MoriyamaTokiko KatôBunshi Katsura VIIn 1930s Italy, a veteran World War I pilot is cursed to look like an anthropomorphic pig.The first Ghibli film that I saw that had a grittiness that wasn't found in Miyazaki's previous work. This one was special as Miyazaki was able to draw what he loves.
- DirectorGorô MiyazakiStarsTimothy DaltonWillem DafoeMariska HargitayIn a mythical land, a man and a young boy investigate a series of unusual occurrences.The worst Ghibli film made. The only redeeming element is the female lead.
Poor editing mixed in with an inexperienced director makes for a terrible choice for the people who run Ghibli. - DirectorHayao MiyazakiStarsMayumi TanakaKeiko YokozawaKotoe HatsuiA young boy and a girl with a magic crystal must race against pirates and foreign agents in a search for a legendary floating castle.Laputa is real:) Always dare to dream even when you are laughed at.

Miyazaki did a great job at making the characters uniquely his while still respecting the source material enough to make the best adaption.
- DirectorHayao MiyazakiStarsHideaki AnnoHidetoshi NishijimaMiori TakimotoJiro Horikoshi studies assiduously to fulfill his aim of becoming an aeronautical engineer. As WWII begins, fighter aircraft designed by him end up getting used by the Japanese Empire against its foes.When I finished this movie I thought that this film was the perfect end to Miyazaki's career. The movie featured so many elements of his past films and appears to much deeper than the previous ones as this film was based on a real man. So beautiful, I can't wait to watch the film again.
Just make something beautiful. - DirectorHayao MiyazakiStarsHitoshi TakagiNoriko HidakaChika SakamotoWhen two girls move to the country to be near their ailing mother, they have adventures with the wondrous forest spirits who live nearby.Regardless of what it may stand for or truly mean.

This film was beautifully animated and a once in a lifetime masterpiece.
- DirectorSion SonoStarsTakahiro NishijimaHikari MitsushimaSakura AndôA bizarre love triangle forms between a young Catholic upskirt photographer, a misandric girl and a manipulative cultist.So funny and cringy at the same time. I don't suggest this film if you are not used to Japanese comedy.

Well worth it, the normally stoic Beat proved he is a talented actor and director.
