Newfoundland. Though the only place I could find them in abundance was St. John's. The smaller communities had only a few (Ponyo, Spirited Away).

In order:
Princess Mononoke
My Neighbor Totoro
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
Spirited Away
Howl's Moving Castle
Kiki's Delivery Service
Laputa - Castle in the Sky
Porco Rosso
To put this list in perspective: I even like Porco Rosso more than 95% of (modern) western animation movies.
Whisper of the Heart and The Cat Returns were good as well, but not as good as Myiazaki's own movies.
I still plan to buy and watch Pom Poko, My Neighbors the Yamadas, Grave of the Fireflies and Only Yesterday some day.
Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea was not even in cinemas here yet (will be in September), but as I loved Kiki and Totoro, Ponyo is another definite buy once it comes out on DVD (I don't go to the cinema anymore).
The only Ghibli movie that I didn't like very much was Tales from Earthsea. It was as beautiful as expected, but at the same time extremely boring to me because of the weak screenplay.
Everything. Every single one of those absolutely fantastic masterpieces.
That is all.
He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence, and it was often difficult to tell which was which.

In that case, I need a moment or two to think about this.
Hmmm...
Okay, I think here's how it basically goes:
Spirited Away
Grave Of The Fireflies
Laputa: Castle In The Sky
Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro(Did I wrote it right?)
Nausicaä Of The Valley Of The Winds
Princess Mononoke
Kiki's Delivery Service
My Neighbour Totoro
Porco Rosso
Ponyo
Whispers of the Heart
... Wait, did I just list every Studio Ghibli movie I saw?
Anyway, the top 5 are probably my personal favourites, I suppose. Hard to say, actually.

you sir, have excellent taste!
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’

Why thank you, that is very nice to hear.

Just saw Toy Story 3 last night and I saw a Totoro doll in there!
Anyway on topic, my favourite has to be Grave of the Fireflies followed by Princess Mononoke
