My 26th pick has already been mentioned twice before. An animated master piece.


A story not often told in war movies, that what happens with those left behind at home, a heart-warming and heart-breaking movie at the same time. Grave of the fireflies has personal relevance too, my grandmother lost her first child from malnutrition during the 2nd world war. Having learned this at a very young age I never really understood what it must have been like for her until I saw this movie.
