"I also recommend just about any anime film directed by Hayao Miyazaki, which are fun for the whole family. Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Princess Mononoke, Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, The Cat Returns, and especially Porco Rosso, which reminds me of Casablanca (except that the Bogart role is played by a World War I biplane pilot who has been turned into a pig because he flew too high). It even has a woman singing chansons in an Aegean nightclub. "
Really great stuff. You left out "Count ???'s Castle". I need to buy the ones I haven't seen, especially for my niece.
The Castle of Cagliostro. Yes, it's a bit different, but my grandchildren loved it. Unless you mean Howl's Moving Castle, which hasn't bee released on DVD yet.
Also, the first two DVDs of Sherlock Hound were done by Miyazaki, and then unfortunately they changed directors. They are very amusing--Holmes and Watson as dogs.
I think my two favorites are probably Spirited Away and Porco Rosso, but they're all good.
