I got a not-quite-legal DVD set in Chinatown a while back, that has versions of every Studio Ghibli movie released up to Princess Mononoke. I almost always like the Japanese version with subtitles better, even though the dubs got okay once John Lasseter stepped in. That site has <a href="http://www.turnerclassicmovies.com/thismonth/article.jsp?cid=114171&mainArticleId=114160" rel="nofollow">the best write-up of Pom Poko</a> I've ever seen. It's awesome that they're showing so many of them! If anybody is reading this and is interested, <i>Pom Poko</i> is obviously my favorite, but <i>Porco Rosso</i> and <i>Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind</i> are excellent, too. The ones that got all the attention were <i>Spirited Away</i> and <i>Princess Mononoke</i>, but I don't think they're the best. Thanks for the heads-up.

Every Thursday this month they're running English and Japanese versions of Miyazaki's movies. I'm just not that big a fan, so I haven't been paying to close attention to the line-up, but I thought there might be some on <a href="http://www.turnerclassicmovies.com/thismonth/article/?cid=114160" rel="nofollow">the list</a> that you hadn't seen, or had only seen one version of...
