The one thing I love about my community in here is that there's no way in hell we could universally agree on a single movie that stands above all else. But we're still gonna discuss it.
Now, I think Studio Ghibli are aging masters. They create great movies but are always in my opinion never able to replicate the success of they're past movies. Movies like Hotaru no Haka (1988) Tonari no Totoro (1988) Kaze no Tani no Nausicaä (1984) Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi (2001) are some of the greatest anime marvels of all time and rightfully so.
But the one movie I've watched, that I think to this day has never ever been topped is Mononoke Hime (1997) everything from the setting to the characters to the story worked so perfectly together that it not only wowed me as a child but even now at the age of 26 I still haven't seen a movie that's made me feel the same way, I've not seen a movie able to replicate that since.
So my question to all you is what's the one movie to this day that you've seen. that you truly believe has never been topped?
Princess Mononoke is pretty good. I liked it.
I didn't care for Spirited Away. Just wasn't my kind of film.
Never seen Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.
Some of the ones I really liked were Howl's Moving Castle, Akira, Ghost in the Shell.
My pick is Sword of The Stranger. It has the best sword fights in any anime in my opinion and it's pretty good overall.
WOW!!
Me too so far is the best movie i have ever seen the music is beautiful, the fights, the characters.

I agree with you right there but thats what i like about anime, people have different tastes and is always nice to have that to comment,discuss, etc.
Princess Mononoke is awesome and all Ghibli movies.
