Favorite movies list
Tonari no Totoro (1988)
(My Neighbor Totoro)
Two young daughters meet friendly wood spirits in postwar rural Japan. Simple (unlike some of his latest movies), poetical, enchanting.
Dark Side of Totoro (rittotoroasdeath)
Mononoke-hime (1997)
(Princess Mononoke)
Gods and demons locked in battle for the future of the forest (worth seeing just for its Forest Spirit, which takes animal form by day and roams the night as a diaphanous, Godzilla-like divinity).
Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (2001)
(Spirited Away, Sen,... Le voyage de Chihiro)
Sen is separated from her gluttonous parents and forced to work in a bathhouse frequented nightly by Japan's pantheon of house and nature spirits!
