Posted August 3, 2006 A heads up to all you Ghibli lovers out there: Film Four will be having a Studio Ghibli season, starting tommorow at 4:55pm with Miyazakis debut, Castle of Cagliostro, with another Ghibli film every day for at least the next week. I'm pretty stoked, because I love Studio Ghibli films but only seen a handful, and here's my big oppetunity to catch up. I just hope they play Grave of the Fireflies - I feel that film will carry a certain extra poinency given recent events in the Middle East. People just need to see it.

Posted August 3, 2006 Yeah, I just saw the advert before watching the Simpsons. It sounds pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 3, 2006 grave of the fireflies was somehow good despite nothing much happening in it.Princess mononoke is my personal favourite.Although i'm not entirely sure if they did it!Spirited away was also a classic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 3, 2006 Yeah, Ghibli did Mononoke. That film rocks harder then stone. Some say they're the Japanese Disney. That's a lie. Studio Ghibli are better then that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 3, 2006 Are all of these films anime or the cool black and white films by some Italian sounding director? Im guessing the former but hoping the latter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 3, 2006 Are all of these films anime or the cool black and white films by some Italian sounding director? Im guessing the former but hoping the latter. Very definitly the former. These are some of the best animated films ever made - you owe it to yourself to watch them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 3, 2006 Ah ok fair enough I will check them out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 3, 2006 Argh! Heard people discussing this a few days ago on CoH and I thought my new PC with freeview would have arrived before it started. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 3, 2006 Brilliant, especially since Filmfour became a free-to-view channel a few weeks ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 3, 2006 FilmFour isn't getting picked up by my sattelite! I need to get it working, which means gettign up at 7am tomorrow so I can catch my brother before he falls asleep so we can move our sattelite. I don't wanna miss these - I've only seen Princess Mononoke and Spirted Away... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 3, 2006 I'm going to sound a lot like the Computer Geek off The Office when I say that Castle of Cagliostro and Nausicaa are NOT Ghibli films. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 3, 2006 fucking adore ghibli im collecting all their dvds ATM I'm going to sound a lot like the Computer Geek off The Office when I say that Castle of Cagliostro and Nausicaa are NOT Ghibli films. why arent they? nausicaa has the feel of a great ghibli and looks amazing and has hayao miyazaki involved :P hmmmm, miyazaki where have i heard that name before?!

Posted August 3, 2006 Castle of Cagliostro was created before Studio Ghibli was made and Nausicaa was by Topcraft but Miyazaki was director. Miyazaki isn't the only person who directs at Ghibli. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 3, 2006 The Castle Of Cagliostro is the only one out of that list that I haven't seen yet. Never even heard of it before. And then there's the new one, Howl's Moving Castle, which I almost almost rented yesterday (but couldn't since my family picked out other movies to watch already). Is it worth seeing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 3, 2006 Howl's Moving Castle is a good film. But it's no way the best Ghibli film. My personal favourite is Whisper of the Heart. edit: I'm looking forward to Gedo Senki which has just been released in Japan, it's directed by Hayao's son Goro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 3, 2006 Urgh, the week my parents come back they do this. Would have been handy to Sky+ them. What channel is Film Four on Sky and Telewest anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 3, 2006 Castle of Cagliostro was created before Studio Ghibli was made and Nausicaa was by Topcraft but Miyazaki was director. Miyazaki isn't the only person who directs at Ghibli. i know but i feel his films are the most magical and are usually the best of the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 3, 2006 I don't have that channel, but I have a Ghibli studios DVD box and all the dvds, so I'm not bothered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
