Porco Rosso is great, but you have to watch it a few times to get it, and the lack of a clear ending.For some reason 'The Black Parade' by My Chemical Romance always reminds me of that awesome parade of dead aviators in the sky.
Laputa and Spirited Away are probably the only ones that have a clear beginning, middle and end like you'd expect from a story.
Princess Mononoke is amazing, but there's no arc to the story, it's just all about progress. But then that is the theme of the film; it's just unconventional in exposing it in that way.
Kiki is good, but more like a series of 1/2-hour shows edited into one movie. Kids can kind of all too easily get bored and turn it off after the first few deliveries. But it does have the best opening of them all, and the epilogue scenes over the closing credits are wonderful too.
