Filled up most of the holes in my Ghibli watchlist and saw a bunch of movies I hadn't before at once. Now I've come to proclaim the truth on this board.
The Wind Rises > Spirited Away > Porco Rosso > Castle in the Sky > Nausicaa > Princess Mononoke >> Howl's Moving Castle > Ponyo > My Neighbour Totoro >>> The Garbage that is Earthsea
I also love planes now.

Princess Kaguya > your list.
one of the least interesting movies I've ever watched. beautiful, but so dull.
Never watched nausicaä or ponyo, but everything else on this list seems fairly accurate. I think Laputa and Princess Mononoke are pretty much equal and i dont think I could decide which is better. Whats your reasoning there?
>no Pom Poko even listed
Why are you sharing your opinion?
No Whisper of the Heart, no Takahata films. You've missed the best stuff from Ghibli imo
I've seen Laputa way more recently than Nausicaa and Princess Mononoke, that might distort things a bit. Maybe a rewatch is in order.
Porco > Mononoke > Laputa > Kino Rises > Spirited Away > Ponyo > Totoro > Shitsicaä(manga is infinitely better) > Howl's > Tales from Earthshit
People tend to just ignore the non-Miyazaki stuff.
This is the correct order
People who rank like 20 movies in an order are cringy. Like, it's okay to like both Princess Mononoke or Nausicaa and not claim one is strictly better than the other. I bet you assign ratings on MAL, you absolute fag.
Watch My Neighbors the Yamadas. It's the best Takahata and people who think otherwise should kill themselves
This, you're really missing out OP
I've rewatched these many times: My Neighbors the Yamadas, Porco Rosso, Ponyo, Whisper of the Heart, and From Up on Poppy Hill.
A lot of times it's for the aesthetic alone. Sound, music, voice actors, character designs, etc. The last three just seem "cozy?"
Take two movies. Choose the one you like better. Rinse repeat. Do you lack the brain capacity for this process?
>I bet you assign ratings on MAL, you absolute fag.
I do and they are objectively correct.
> Do you lack the brain capacity for this process?
This doesn't have anything to do with intelligence, try autism for people who compulsively have to sort things in order.
I suppose if someone were to point a gun at you and forced you to choose between movie A and movie B you could perhaps be inclined to choose one, but outside of that there's no point. You could put them in tiers sure, but to assign some hard metric and say this movie is a 8.1/10 while this movie is a 8.2/10 and increasingly more precise ratings as you watch more is nonsensical.
glad to see porco rosso getting some love, for some reason it is always ranked really low or completely left out of peoples ghibli lists
It’s loved on Zig Forums though. I personally don’t get why.
Spirited Away was boring and had a weak message compared to the other movie. The movie was "heres a bunch of stuff that happens". The only reason it won an Oscar is because it was a weak year for the category.
Sure.
Not hard. Just divide and conquer. My two absolute favourite Ghiblis are Ponyo and When Marnie Was There.
For the rest I order movies into tiers, then I order the tiers themselves. It's good enough.
1. Fantastical Miyazaki
Spirited Away
Kiki
Arrietty
Mononoke
Nausicaä
Laputa
Totoro
2. The final two
Kaguya
Wind Rises
3.
Whisper of the Heart
Only Yesterday
Poppy Hill
[Ocean Waves]
4. Misc
Pom Poko
Porco Rosso
The Cat Returns
Earthsea
Howl's
Yamadas
Porco Rosso is the best overall Ghibli film.
Poppy Hill is comfy AF.
I wouldn't go so far as to say "boring", but it was not story-driven for sure.

I see you've also skipped all the Takahata garbage.
Pretty good list.
But I don't get earthsea's hate. It's one of their least works but not terrible.
I always come back to it solely for this track alone

You got through the garbage. Now watch the Takahata kino.
Kiki's Delivery Service? The Cat Returns?
