I AM SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS!

If you have Max streaming, literally all the Ghibli films are on there, plus the documentaries. I generally agree with the whole list, though would put Grave of the Fireflies higher. But I put anything which displays the cost of War high on a list. Princess Kaguya is great because it's a legit ancient Japanese fairy tail, and the animation is lovely. I think the only thing Ghibli I haven't seen is Pom Poko, just because the idea didn't appeal to me when I first getting into Ghibli in the late 90's, and honestly it never has, but if someone wanted to watch it I would. If Haley wants a wild experience, there is a live stage production of Spirited Away you can stream on Max (dunno about Canadian availability) that offered a really unique look at the story since I've seen it many times since back when it won the Oscar.

You fascists need to re-evaluate Porco Rosso. Shameful. It's Miyazaki's most romantic movie (as in Romanticism as a style, not Romance as a genre). It's got one of the most impressive visual metaphors for grappling with death! JK I love you but for real, self-examine. S-tier.

I speak Italian so I can help a bit with the pronunciation! "Ghibli" is an Italian engine manufacturer that made plane engines, which is why Miyazaki likes the word. It's pronounced Gibly with G like Girl. In Japanese it's pronounced Ji-bu-ree with G like Giraffe. Either pronunciation is correct, totally depends on what language you're pulling from. I'm biased towards the Italian pronunciation personally.
