Princess Mononoke was my first Ghibli movie and it blew me away.
I love Miyazaki's obsession with planes, airships and flying in general (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Laputa: Castle in the Sky, Porco Rosso, Kiki's Delivery Service, Howl's Moving Castle) and the ambivalence and subtelty of stories and characters in his movies (Lady Eboshi and the Iron Town in Mononoke, to name just one of many examples).
