Here's some of my fav movies of Studio Ghibli:
~ Howl's Moving Castle (my all-time fave!)
~ Spirited Away
~ Laputa (Castle in the Sky)
~ My neighbour Totoro
~ Princess Mononoke
~ The Cat Returns
there are many more that I haven't even seen yet, like one that came out last year, I think. It was called Ponyo (on the cliff or something like that). I've heard it's super cute! I can't wait to see it for myself.
Another that I really want to get my hands on is Tales from Earthsea, because I read the book and it made me even more excited to see the animated movie.
If you are able to get your hands on Studio Ghibli's movies, I highly recommend them!
PS: I think Miyazaki-san is 69 this year, not sure.
