these
and also
metropolis
the girl who leapt through time
wolf children ame and yuki
akira
jin-roh: the wolf brigade
blood: the last vampire is pretty good as well but it's a short film and really you only watch it for the visuals, it's all style no substance
i've heard redline is good as well, but again, all style no substance. huge emphasis on style here, it's absolutely gorgeous.
you might like the afro samurai movies, although i thought they were only fairly decent. the second one is particularly a bit disappointing, and in general they are once again pretty much all style no substance. but the first one is definitely at least enjoyable to watch once.
but yeah watch all of the best miyazaki films as well. these include spirited away, kiki's delivery service, princess mononoke, castle in the sky (aka laputa), my neighbor totoro, lupin iii: castle of cogliostro (you don't have to be a lupin fan to enjoy this movie i assure you), nausicaa of the valley of the wind, and whisper of the heart
maybe howl's moving castle too but it's really overrated imo
maybe porco rosso and the cat returns too but i haven't seen them
also notable is a ghibli production that was not directed by miyazaki: grave of the fireflies
summer wars is boring
i wholeheartedly rec perfect blue and akria
oh yeah saw akira a while ago
it was amazing
gonna start going through more of these recommendations
watch akira!!!!

from up on poppy hill was good. Miyazaki.
why did you quote notsid to say that
a recommendation i forgot: Cat Soup
it is a short 30-minute film that is basically a surreal drug trip about a cat trying to get his sister's soul back

cartoon network showed that fucking movie for like a whole weekend it was straight bullshit
they use to do that every 4th of july
then they did it fo some other holiday
i hated akira when i watched it lol
redline is what an f-zero movie would be if one existed. it was good but be prepared for a bullshit ending
i recently watched vampire hunter d: bloodlust and it was pretty neat. i for some reason only had the dub downloaded and the voice acting was pretty goddamn cheesy but everything else was highly enjoyable.

same
how is the ending bullshit?
the english dub is the original version of that movie
is it just me or is spirited away vastly overrated

porco rosso is so unmemorable
and grave of the fireflies disappointed me
nasicaa was really really good though~~
also watch arashi no yoru ni
its SO CUTE
watch it
really the only miyazaki films i've ever enjoyed was princess mononoke, naussica of the valley of the wind, and kiki's delivery service. spirited away, howl's moving castle, and ponyo imo only got their awarded acclaim due to the animation aspect. all three stories are horrendously bland.
