I've been pondering a response to this thread for a couple days and have become quite frustrated at not being able to come up with words that would explain my deep love for Miyazaki films (most notably Mononoke, Nausicaa, and Spirited Away).
The aura, the experience, of a these films is so instantly enchanting, so captivatingly complex, so fantastically real! And his characters! I love his heroes; so selfless, loving, and determined. His films don't let my mind wander off to think about real life. When I'm feeling down, they always life my spirits. I've found no end to their replay value either. I don't think I could ever say enough to do them justice.
