Guillermo del ToroI discovered Miyazaki when I was a kid in Mexico. Here are edited excerpts from his comments: The film’s artistry and magic defy description, but we asked Guillermo del Toro, a Miyazaki fan and a formidable movie magician in his own right, to share his thoughts. “ Spirited Away,” by the Japanese anime master Hayao Miyazaki, follows the enthralling and terrifying adventures of a young girl named Chihiro.
Just two days ago, the Times also ranked “ all the films of studio Ghibli“ there are 22, and the top three, in order, are “Spirited Away,” “Princess Mononoke,” and “My Neighbor Totoro.” Here’s the description of “Spirited Away” from the first list: Grania put me onto that one, and also recommends that I see “Princess Mononoke,” which I will. I’ve seen only one Ghibli movie, “My Neighbor Totoro”, which I loved and think everyone should watch. The surprise for me is #2, a Miyazaki animation from Studio Ghibli. At any rate, the NYT list, which has longish descriptions of each film, is a good guide for what you might want to see next on Netflix. The first is good by anybody’s lights, the second a personal favorite that may not appeal to many (it’s based on an Ishiguro novel and gets only a 71% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes). I’ll list just the Times‘s top ten, but there are two that I find conspicuously missing: “Spotlight” and “Never Let Me Go”.
Sadly, I’ve seen only two of them-”There Will Be Blood” and “The Hurt Locker”-both very good), which reflects my reduced moviegoing over the past few years. Well, the 21st century is only 17-some years old, but the New York Times has already named t he 25 best movies put out in this century.
