	Panda! Go, Panda! (1972)
Its a very early work, and it shows. It is still very cute though. A little more of a kids movie than most of the others
	The Castle of Cagliostro (1980)			Not Rated
Another oddball. A lot more adventurey than Miyazaki's main corpus.
	Sherlock Hound: Case File 1 (1984)
Miyazaki directed episodes 3, 4, and 5; The Little Client, The Abduction of Mrs. Hudson, and The Blue Carbuncle
	Sherlock Hound: Case File 2 (1984)
Miyazaki directed episodes 9 and 10; Treasure Under the Sea, and The White Cliffs of Dover
	Sherlock Hound: Case File 3 (1985)
Miyazaki directed episode 11; Where Did the Soverigns Go?
	Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (1984)
My all time favorite movie, even if the book is better.
	Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (Bonus Disc) (1984)
	Castle in the Sky (1986)			Not Rated
Based in part on Gulliver's Travels, but you wouldn't really know it.
	Castle in the Sky (Bonus Disc) (1986)			Not Rated
	My Neighbor Totoro (1988)			Not Rated
Many similarities to Panda Go Panda, but much more developed.
	My Neighbor Totoro (1988)
Many similarities to Panda Go Panda, but much more developed.
	My Neighbor Totoro (Bonus Disc) (1988)
	Grave of the Fireflies (Collector's Edition) (1988)			Not Rated
Directed by Isao Takahata. This was the only one I don't like.
	Grave of the Fireflies (Bonus Disc) (1988)			Not Rated
	Kiki's Delivery Service (Special Edition) (1989)
The first to get a big hollywood voice over. I try to stick to subbed versons, but Phil Hartman did a good job.
	Kiki's Delivery Service (Special Edition) (Bonus Disc) (1989)
	Porco Rosso (1992)
This was panned by many fans, but i don't think its bad. its just not as amazing as most of the others.
	Porco Rosso (Bonus Disc) (1992)
	Pom Poko (1994)
This is pretty slapsticky. Maybe not for little kids because of some testicular humour. They might just not really get that part though
	Pom Poko (Bonus Disc) (1994)
	Princess Mononoke (1997)
highest grossing film inJapan at the time, warranting a spectacular english dubbing. About the only foreign film i'll watch dubbed.
	My Neighbors the Yamadas (1999)
like a bunch of peanut strips. A bit boring and not very funny.
	Spirited Away (2001)
My s.o.'s personal favorite.
	Spirited Away (Bonus Disc) (2001)
	The Cat Returns (2002)
A cute story, but not the best of the bunch. definitely still worth a watch.
	The Cat Returns (Bonus Disc) (2002)			Not Rated
	Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004)
Produced by Ghibli, but nothing like any of the others. Just here for sake of completeness
	Howl's Moving Castle (2004)
The first based on a single book, and a western one. More modern than the others.
