The first animated movie by these talented directors and artists that i have seen from memory is "My Neighbour Totoro".
I remember this movie and hold a fondness to these animated movies. i have seen a few other stories from this series of individuall stories that i also like: Spirited Away, Howls moving Castle.
Great fantasy stories of the unusual and wonderful.. the writer of these stories is a great storyteller.
Some stories have abit of romance in it too :)

Shizuku lives a simple life, dominated by her love for stories and writing. One day she notices that all the library books she has have been previously checked out by the same person: 'Seiji Amasawa'.
Curious as to who he is, Shizuku meets a boy her age whom she finds infuriating, but discovers to her shock that he is her 'Prince of Books'. As she grows closer to him, she realises that he merely read all those books to bring himself closer to her.
The boy Seiji aspires to be a violin maker in Italy, and it is his dreams that make Shizuku realise that she has no clear path for her life. Knowing that her strength lies in writing, she tests her talents by writing a story about Baron, a cat statuette belonging to Seiji's grandfather.
You can see Shizuka's story in 'The Cat Returns'
