I am currently still in stare out the window mode my language center continues to be mostly offline. But when I get tired of trees and ravens I will shift my eyes indoors to something natural and lyrical.
I pretty much judge all movies based on the quality of their sky - which Ghibli movies do you think have the best sky?

@lonelinesscorps
Ok! I have watched
*cough-napped through*
Howl's Moving Castle and The Cat Returns.
Need a vibe shift, switching to DS9...
@lonelinesscorps
@vlrny @lonelinesscorps We're watching Nausicaä tonight!
I have no idea what Dr. Julian Bashir is looking at - did water drip on him? Did he hear a rat in the ceiling? Are the lights flickering in a funky disco sequence?
Enquiring minds want to know!
(Posting this just to make you laugh & in case any enquiring minds want to know the name of 'wazzis face, sexy doctor boi from Deep Space Nine'. 
)
I confess, I started watching spirited away last night, wondered what else might be there, switched to keanu reeves movie, point break. Oh, the scenery! Sigh.
@vlrny
I confess, I am not familiar with Ghibli Studio movies. What characterizes them? If new, start where?
@BrambleBearWhuffling @vlrny @lonelinesscorps
Studio Ghibli¹ movies are quirky, gentle animated stories. I've only watched "My neighbour Totoro", "Kiki's delivery service", and "Spirited away"; all stand-alone movies.

¹ Pronunciation: in interviews co-founder of Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki, pronounces it as "Studio Jiburi".
So, "Jibli"-ish, not "gibbly".
@lnlyisol @vlrny @lonelinesscorps
oooh, Spirited Away looks goooood!
@lnlyisol @vlrny @lonelinesscorps
Oh, Hot Dog! It is on the Archive!!!
@CWilbur cool beans!
available through library too.
I watched Kiki's Delivery Service for the first time in a while, and I just love the part where Kiki spends time hanging out in the cabin with her new artist friend.
@westerling following bc heavy relate vibes on this 
opinion
@vlrny @lonelinesscorps I love Porco Rosso and The Wind Rises but maybe best starting point is Totoro?
Good idea.
I saw a few of them.
- Kiki delivery service (cute)
- Castle in the sky (awe inspiring epic)
- Princess Mononoke (such a brilliant piece of political commentary)
- Tales from Earthsea (good)
- The Tale of the Princess Kaguya (got me sobbing)
Which one should i watch next?
@Lily_and_frog @vlrny @lonelinesscorps I am a fan of the first one I ever saw: Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. It’s a Topcraft, not Studio Ghibli, film, but written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki.
@bucknam @vlrny @lonelinesscorps
Oh yes, I've seen this one too! Great movie.
@Lily_and_frog @lonelinesscorps @vlrny I’m a big fan of My Neighbor Totoro.
@Archergal @Lily_and_frog @lonelinesscorps @vlrny me too, that's the one we watched together last. I think? I also got a Ponyo DVD. Spirited Away was one we could always watch together when one of us needed cheering up, it's still probably our favorite :3 if only for the nostalgia and memories.
@secretsloth @Lily_and_frog @lonelinesscorps @vlrny Spirited Away is also wonderful!
@Archergal @vlrny @Lily_and_frog @secretsloth @lonelinesscorps I love them all so much - Castles in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke (even with Gillian Anderson's voice acting), Kiki's Delivery Service, and Spirited Away are among my favorites. I saw but need to rewatch The Boy & The Heron - I availed myself to the Alamo Drafthouse drafts a bit too much.
@Archergal @vlrny @Lily_and_frog @secretsloth @lonelinesscorps Also, for our 27th anniversary - the sculpture year - my husband got me Kiki's Delivery Service and My Neighbor Totoro ah, action figures. True love! 
@vlrny I will always be about Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro, and Ponyo, with some Princess Mononoke thrown in...
@johncomic @vlrny I still need to get my kid to watch Ponyo with me :3
@johncomic @vlrny (they're grown, ish, as am I)

Good idea Valery! It is cold and yucky outside. I feel cold and yucky inside. Think I will marathon these 3, split and saw some kindling wood, cook and guzzle coffee by fire all day.
Which ones have you seen?
