Miyazaki films are so incredibly unique.
They often focus on protagonists that don’t win through action, but rather through kindness and hard work. And many of the protagonists don’t really have much inner conflict either.
The fact that this combo is going on, and yet the films are so timeless and successful, is actually kind of crazy. They should be boring, and yet they are not.
There is a deep warmth to most of the films, even as they explore some of the saddest themes.
Spirited away and Howls MC were very influential to my young adult self. I probably need to watch a few more...
suggestions?

Princess Mononoke was one of the best, imo. Despite the name it’s also one of the more action-oriented ones.
Just rewatched Princess Mononoke for the first time since the 90s with my kids last week.
Just watch all the ghibli movies. They're all great in their own way.
