Princess Mononoke (1997)
Non-Https Image Link
Howl's Moving Castle (2004)
Non-Https Image Link
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984)
Non-Https Image Link
and just lately, My Neighbor Totoro (1988)..
They've all been brilliant for me apart from My Neighbor Totoro- nothing seemed to happen . And it's not even because it's a 1988 film.. Nausicaä was 1984 and I still got my Miyazaki fix..

Hayao Miyazaki's first full-length film in four years has hit screens across Japan, putting aside speculation that the Oscar-winning Japanese animator had made his last picture.
A 650-seat movie theatre at Tokyo's shopping and business district of Hibiya was filled with his fans, mostly children and their parents, to watch the opening of Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea, which the reclusive 67-year-old, best known for his cult hit Spirited Away, wrote and directed.
Inspired by the 19th-century fairy tale The Little Mermaid by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, the story centres around a tiny fish-girl, Ponyo, who rides a jellyfish to escape her home in the sea.
She meets a five-year-old boy, Sosuke, who vows to protect her, but Ponyo is taken back to the sea. Desperate to be a human and live with Sosuke, Ponyo heads to land again with help from her sisters.
Miyazaki is one of Japan's biggest cultural exports. His last film, Howl's Moving Castle, broke opening box office records at home in 2004 before winning a cult following in Western and Asian nations.
Miyazaki has said repeatedly in the past that he wants to retire.
The 2004 release of Howl's Moving Castle was met by speculation that it would be his last film, raising concerns in Japan for the future of the lucrative animation industry.
But Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea has dampened such concern.
Miyazaki, who had used computer graphics since Princess Mononoke in 1997, decided to shun hi-tech effects in his latest picture.
Miyazaki's second to last film, Spirited Away, won the Academy Award in 2003 for best animated feature, Japan's first Oscar for a full-length work in nearly half a century.

i dont believe they were ever very computer generated. as far as i was aware only a very low percentage of the footage was allowed to be made on computers and the vast majority was still drawn by hand.
or perhaps that was just for the earlier movies, i dont think so though.
oh and about a month and a half ago my gf and i watched Grave of the Fireflys finally. so sad

Princess Mononoke wins.
Philosophical, Violent, Beautiful, Tender and the best single animated production I have ever seen. Spirited Away and Howl's seem like childrens movies compared to Mononoke.
I might have to go watch it again now.

After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.

I may disagree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
