It's time for another "greatest hits" retrospective of the Studio Ghibli movies, and UK movie blog Set The Tape is the latest contender. The first part of their multi-episode saga began last week and will continue in the coming days and weeks.
The writers are working backward, and here's where the rankings stand so far:
- 23. Tales From Earthsea
- 22. Porco Rosso
- 21. Pom Poko
- 20. My Neighbors the Yamadas
- 19. Ocean Waves
- 18. Whisper of the Heart
This is going to be interesting reading. If nothing else, it's gutsy to put fan favorites Porco Rosso and Whisper of the Heart at the bottom of the pile. I'm looking forward to reading the fan comments defending their favorite Ghibli movies. Do people still leave comments on blogs? Whatever.
I do hope the writers will continue to shake things up as they move down their Ghibli rankings. Please don't let this be yet another list that puts My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away on top. That's just lazy. Be a little more creative with your top pick and argue the case. Surprise us.
Follow Set The Tape for future installments on their Ranking Studio Ghibli series.
