Studio Ghibli films.

I recommend Lupin III's "The Castle Of Cagliostro".

I haven't seen them all, but it doesn't matter because I can't choose anyway.

I have to vote for Grave of the Fireflies, despite a great love for many more ... Grave is a movie that I show everyone I get the chance, even if they don't like anime, because it is so moving and touching. It transcends its medium, and while I would say a couple other Ghibli movies do as well (Spirited Away, Mononoke,...), I think this one is the most successful.

Another one for the fans

I guess I'll finally vote for Spirited Away.

^ very nice version of such a fun song.  I often sing "To-toro, To-toro".

Not sure why I never voted in this poll as I love Studio Ghibli films.   Grave of the Fireflies (one of my absolute favourite animated films along with When the Wind Blows, Fantastic Planet, and Watership Down)  followed by the amazing Spirited Away.  Spirited Away is my daughter's favourite film, and Hiyao Miyazkai is her favourite director, and I'm so glad she appreciates it (my wife had told me not to show it to her, she was five then, because the images might scare her, but I insisted).  Ponyo was fun too.

Your daughter has good taste.

Thanks.  And I forgot that after I took it out it was my daughter who insisted on seeing it (had her watch the trailer first).

Miyazaki films are great for families to watch, I think -- even the darker ones.  And it's also good when one can have ones kids watch the subtitled versions to encourage them to read.  I prefer watching the films in Japanese with English subtitles since my Japanese is quite broken.  I don't really like some of the Disney changes to the dialogue/ characters and even music (regarding music, for instance, they totalled changed a song in Kiki's Delivery Service, and the Disney choice does not fit nearly so well).
