Spirited Away, amazing. Princess Mononoke, also amazing. rest of Miyozaki's filmography: decent, nothing spectacular, all to a similar formulae
Really? I've just watched both Spirited Away and Mononoke and thought, while Spirited Away was the best, that Nausicaa > Mononokem, but perhaps that's because it is characters and character development I look to most in movies and Nausicaa herself was far too likable for her own good while Ashitaka was just a bit of a Mary-Sue. And would it have killed them to flesh out the arm thing a little more? The fight and escape from Iron Town was awesomeness personified. But I'm speaking relatively here, Mononoke was still superb and far beyond the current standards of movies I watch.
