And if you have time to spend try to watch this movies that will make you learn something just what happen to me.
1. ‘Spirited Away’ (2001)
A family takes a wrong turn on its way to a new home and a young girl is plunged into a dark adventure with a hauntingly drawn collection of spirits, witches, monsters and other fantastic creatures. It’s Mr. Miyazaki’s most expansive and mesmerizing film.

10/10
If you want something that would make you cry but still make you happy this will be the one that you’re looking for. The characters are unforgettable whe you will watch this movie . Every character has its own lesson that will teach you how to deal on life. How to deal on your family, long distance relationships on your friends and even how important your name is.
2. ‘Princess Mononoke’ (1997)
A gorgeously imagined fantasy, a forceful plea for living in balance with nature, and a riveting adventure that recalls the classic samurai films of Kurosawa — what’s not to like? Perhaps “Mononoke,” the Miyazaki film that first brought Studio Ghibli wide attention in America, is not quite as mysteriously transporting as “Spirited Away,” but that’s not saying much.
10/10
This movie talks aboutnhoe people need to take care on nature and its creatures. This movie will enlightened you what’s happening to our society especially to our nature. This movie is truly amazing.
3. ‘My Neighbor Totoro’ (1988)
The sisters Satsuki and Mei move into a ramshackle country cottage while their mother convalesces at a nearby hospital, and they overcome their fears with the help of some possibly imaginary new friends, including a slyly grinning cat that doubles as a bus and the huge, furry, unflappable Totoro. From Mr. Miyazaki, this is deceptively simple and childlike but enormously moving, a direct portal to the joys and terrors of childhood.
10/10
This movie is all about the children and its imaginary friends as you watch through it, you will realize how those imaginary friends would make you feel better enven though their are not real (but it seems that those imaginary friends are spirits).
4. ‘Porco Rosso’ (1992)
Not as well known as the other great Miyazaki films, this homage to vintage Howard Hawks-style aerial thrills is as beautifully drawn and colored as anything he’s done. And it’s tremendous fun. The adventures of the seaplane ace Porco Rosso (the Crimson Pig) combine Saturday-matinee exuberance with 1930s Hollywood romance.
10/10
If you want something that is related to science fiction with the twist of romance then watch this movie.
5. ‘Castle in the Sky’ (Laputa) (1986)
The first official Studio Ghibli movie, this Miyazaki production isn’t as complex or finely polished as the movies above it on this list, but it’s a near perfect action-adventure. A girl chased by merry airborne pirates and power-hungry government officials tries to save the floating castle of Laputa from destruction, a task that involves steampunk-style airships, a harrowing train ride and a few giant robots.
10/10
Just like Porco Rosso, Castle in the sky is more likely a science fiction . This movie is all about friendship and how to protect them when in time of danger. This movie is really inspiring in terms of how friendship was given importance and how it highlighted the movie. It seems like they trying to tell that being friends with someone is not a relationship with a person but it deals more deeply.
6. ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’ (2004)
This dark fable isn’t a hit with some Miyazaki fans — the story takes eccentric turns, and the connections have to do with emotion, characterization and image rather than plot. But what images they are. The unconventional love story pairs Howl, a half-man, half-bird magician who wanders the countryside in the grinding, puffing domicile of the title, and Sophie, a young milliner who’s been turned into an old woman by a witch’s curse.
100000/10000
Probably this movie is the most favorite movie of all Ghibli animation makes. By watching the movie it makes you realize that falling in love with a person doesn’t matter on how you look or what you came from what age you are or what creature you are. This movie will make you understand that love isn’t really basing our character, status and persona it about how love comes in.
7. ‘Pom Poko’ (1994)
The best film by Isao Takahata, who started the studio with Mr. Miyazaki, this is a comic allegory about battling packs of tanuki (Japanese raccoon dogs) joining forces to fight human real estate developers. It’s earthy and rollicking in a way that his co-founder’s films aren’t.
10/10
Just like Princess Monoke, Pom poko is about nature and those creatures that lives in. Pom poko as a movie seems very depressing to watch because they never get the justice that they want just because of the people construction of buildings. It very sad to see that those creatures never get there habitat and force to live with people where other characters die where in they need to go in the humans to get foods in order to survive and yet they were killed. It very emotional because its the reality right now .
8. ‘Kiki’s Delivery Service’ (1989)
The coming–of-age story of a mischievous, clumsy witch who leaves home at 13 to find a town and a job, as witches must. A conventional but delightful tale of self-discovery and heroism from Mr. Miyazaki, it feels like Disney one moment, Truffaut the next.
10/10
This movie is all about accepting yourself of what your are. You don’t need to be scared of what people will judge you and take those criticisms and make it your strengths. This movie will make you inspire on how the main character deals with her differences on others that will make you realize that you should do it also accepting not just yourself but also others.
9. ‘Ponyo’ (2008)
Mr. Miyazaki’s take on “The Little Mermaid,” about a spunky, proud little fish who befriends a human boy and tries to live on land, is often visually ravishing. Its phosphorescent underwater scenes and Hokusai-like waves are as lovely as anything he’s done. The story, though, is less intense and more sentimental than his best work.
10/10
This is the probably most cutest thing that you will ever watch . This movie is all about friendship and sweet childhood lovers that would make you reminisce your life when you are childhood. It also shows how love a parent will last . This movie is truly wonderful it makes me love my parents more , friends and elders or even people that surrounds you because when a situation comes by those people will you.
1o. ‘Grave of the Fireflies’ (1988)
The story of a brother and sister surviving on their own amid firestorms and famine during World War II, Mr. Takahata’s parable of Japanese nationalism and the high cost of pride is often cited as one of the Ghibli masterpieces. It’s seamlessly told, but it’s also a shameless, morbid tear-jerker.
10/10
The most heartbreaking movie that you’ll ever watch .This movie is very sad to the point that you want to time travel and help those siblings to make them live more and don’t lose hope. It really shows how siblings will do everything just for the other and the other will do the same. Till now remembering this movie is probably more hurtful rather than breakup.
Ghibli Movies are really world class movie they are moral lesson on what society it is right now and to the future and also how you interact and give importance the people that surrounds you. These movie talks about crisis and world wide issues where you can be more illuminated and knowledgeable what’s really happening. This movies are not just movies it shows what life is.
