Boy, this was a tough one. I've loved every one of the Miyazaki films I've ever seen, but in the end for me it comes down to 3 titles: Nausica, Princess Monnonoke, and Spirited Away. And I had a really tough time choosing between them, as I swear all 3 are on equal grounds for me.
Now I haven't read the Nausica manga, I don't know how much that might have played a factor, but Princess Monnonoke and Spirited Away for me both had a very big role as a "gateway" into the world of anime outside of the CN stuff I had already been a big fan of at the time, so that almost was a deciding factor as well. I guess since it hurt my head too much to think about it into too much depth because of how much I absolutely loved all 3, I decided to go with Mononoke on a whim, not only because of how high it's listed as a favorite of mine on my anime list, but mostly just because of the fact that it was the first for me. But since apparently I have to sign up for IMDB to do the poll in the first place my vote didn't really count, so if I do indeed decide to go back I may very well just vote for Nausica to boost it's ratting since it didn't look like it did very well.  Such a shame......

I don't feel like registering but if I did my vote would go to Totoro (Porco Rosso is my second favorite though).

Ooh, you should, especially if you liked the movie. It's simply epic. The movie oversimplified a lot of the characters and drama and even the motives of the different parties in play. I haven't finished it yet (my library only had the first four volumes), but what I've read of it is just beautiful. |

I voted Nausicaa, but haven't read the manga. I HAVE seen Porco Rosso though. It's quite good.
I could have voted Spirited Away or Howl's Moving Castle, but the latter I've only seen some of. |

I'm not going to register just to vote on one poll, but if I did I would choose Howl's Moving Castle. I absolutely LOVE it! The animation and everything was beautifully illustrated and I liked the character designs as well with their variations and such. Plus the voice cast was awesome (Billy Crystal did a great job as Calcifer
 ).

Similar to others, I'm not going to register to vote on the poll but I will share my opinion that my personal favourite would be Spirited Away. However, I've only managed to see three of Miyazaki's films - Princess Mononoke, and Howl's Moving Castle being the other two. It's just a really inspirational film that I absolutely love.

here is the final tally:
I never understand the people that vote in a poll "I have no opinion" |

On a related note, Princess Mononoke, Howl, and Spirited Away made Yahoo's top 30 animated films. Nemo was #1, for some reason.

Man, I really wish my B&N had it. I don't even think the SLC one has it either.... Our Borders might though, if I'm willing to take a big long trip out that far one of these times that is.  But I'd be more than willing to give it a shot if it's for the Nausica manga.  Either that or I could just send my parents out that way this August (birthday)

Miyazaki didn't finish the manga till a decade after the movie. He didn't have much when he started the movie.
What do you have in mind? |

Which is your favorite segment? Have you seen the new version too? Oh yeah, about the Miyazaki poll, Porco Rosso for me, because it shows a film doesn't have to be "heavy" to be great.
