Hi. This is such a wonderful thread. Great list. Kiki's Delivery Service is one of my top faves, and My Neighbor Totoro is definitely a classic :D I've been wanting to watch Penguin Highway.

Great choices! I'm also a huge fan of Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli in general.

Miyazaki and Shudio Ghibli are magic.

Recently I watched The Wind Rises. Stunning.

I haven't seen this one yet. Shame on me. I'm also looking forward to watching Weathering with You.

Wow I haven't seen Weathering with You but I'm interested in it. I also haven't seen Castle in the Sky. That's on my list as well.

I'm only going to recommend ones I've watched recently for now just to save some time:
KonoSuba: Legend Of Crimson, Promare, I Want To Eat Your Pancreas, NiNoKuni, Weathering With You and Perfect Blue. Perfect Blue is not for the faint of heart though.

Jules: CitS is the reason why I love cinema; it shaped me as a person. I definitely recommend you watch it, especially if you like Ghibli since it represents an important part of the studio's history.

FlipMode: those movies sound awesome. I haven't watched Promare yet, and wonder if it's on par with the studio's other works such as Kill la Kill or Gurren Lagann. As for Perfect Blue, I heard it's Satoshi Kon's magnum opus, so I'll check this one out for sure. As for the other films you mentioned, except Weathering with You, I never heard of those.

The Tale of Princess Kaguya is really good. I love the different animation and art techniques used it it.
