Solid list, though i'd have placed Porco Rosso as more than an honorably mention and would have switched the top three around.
With me and Ghibli films that I've seen, I'm kinda like there are 3 categories( well 4 but ill get to that in a sec). Goat movies and then the other ones that are just okay
Not that good/ kinda bad
- Tales from Earth sea
- Secret world of arriety
Just okay/ solid
- Whisper of the heart
-Porco Rosso
- Wind Rises( really disappointed. Could've been great)
-From up on poppy hill
-Ponyo( although this is borderline great imo)
-Goat
5. Kikis delivery service
4. Castle in the sky. Although CITS may have some of the best music of any Ghibli film. Up there with Princess Mononoke and Spirited away. Joe Hisaishi is the Goat
3-1. Howls moving castle, Princess Mononoke, spirited away. Any given day the order of my top 3 can change although I will say that Spirited away and Princess mononoke imo are perfect movies and Howls does have its share of flaws so there's that
-In the third category is Grave of the fireflies. Probably the most devastating movie I've ever seen. It's great but not the kinda great that the other movies are
* never seen totoro, marnie, only yesterday, or kaguya. And it's been years since I've seen Nausicaa
