If anime counts, Princess Mononoke.
That movie was awesome. Spirited Away was better IMO, but then again, all of Miyazaki's films are awesome.

Although, I was watching Howl's Moving Castle when I got my first computer virus. So whenever I watch the movie, I'm constantly reminded of that >_>

Just because it's another language doesn't mean it's a foreign film.

I know, but some people think that way.

And that's why a lot of people are retarded.

You don't need action for a movie to be awesome.

I really don't see why everyone absolutely adores Spirited Away. Sure, it's not a bad movie, but I liked Mononoke and Howl's Moving Castle much better, as well as lesser-known movies known like Voices of a Distant Star.

Akira, Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke for animés.

For live action films, I'd have to go for Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Seven Samurai and Jet Li's Hero.
Amelie is also quite a good film.

All of which would be subbed. No poopty half-assed dubs for me.

Hmm... on the whole "Best Miyazaki film" thing, I'm going to have to go ahead and say Howl's Moving Castle. The music won me over (though some of it was from other movies he did), especially in the scene where Howl and Sophie were walking through the air. That part won me over.

Though Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away were both excellent films. I did, however, find a flaw in both of them.

PM ~ It was a little too long, and there were a few blaces that could have been scrunched down.

SA ~ Haku was too... perfect. Also, Chihiro's voice (in the dub) became gradually annoying (through the first half of the movie), to the point I wanted to hit her in the face.

So, yeah. In my opinion, HMC was the best. *Holds up Flame Shield*
Holy crap all my sigs were always poop. Best leave this space alone.

That's why you watch them with subs. I find most dubs to be pretty irritating. The drawl of half-assed American voice actors just ruins the films for me. Ghost In The Shell: SAC is a good example.

I thought SAC was pretty good. You want a poopty dub? Try something more along the lines of Zeta Gundam.
