Miyazaki Festival

The absolute best animation director of all time is Hayao Miyazaki! And every Thursday in January, Turner Classic Movies (TCM) is showing some of his wonderful films (nine in all). These include Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, Porco Rosso, Whisper of the Heart, Only Yesterday, and Pom Poko (those last two were produced by him). You owe it to yourself to watch as many of these as possible. And then see Howl's Moving Castle in your local theater. And find other Studio Ghibli (Miyazaki-san's studio) films to rent or buy; they are all worth watching again and again.

Comments:
You need to watch all of the Won Kar Wai films as well. 2046 just came out on DVD!!!
