いちばん好きなえがは何ですか。

[jkid]

Wondering what people’s favourite movies are. I have always been a fan of Star Wars but haven’t seen it lately. I am also starting to get into アニメ and am enjoying films like　となりのととろ　and Kiki's delivery service (名前は日本でしりません）　- is that correct Japanese?

Your favourites?

(名前は日本でしりません）　- is that correct Japanese?

名前 is more to do with people.
I think title might be a better word
タイトル (n) title.
題名 [だいめい] (n) title.
(Kiki's Delivery Service is 魔女の宅急便 [まじょ の たっきゅうびん] btw)

I like Ghibli films. Grave of the Fireflies 火垂るの墓 is probably still my favorite. Then Whisper of the Heart 耳をすませば

For live action I like Kurosawa. Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Red Beard, Ikiru, Ran,

Modern films I liked
Nobody knows だれもしらない, Azumi (1 not 2), Battle Royal (1 not 2),
Takashi Miike is worth a look but isn't to everyones taste and can be extreme (the only film where I've had to fast forward through a scene was Audition)

Ju-on and Dark Water are two of the best scary films I've seen. (you can never feel safe in bed again after seeing Ju-on!)

Overall 一番好きな映画が火垂るの墓ですよ。because it's a serious topic in an animated film. And forget about Bambi's mother this film gets the biggest emotional response out of most people. Quite an achievement for a "cartoon".

Maybe you were thinking of more than just Japanese films. 垂るの墓 would still be in there. along with Baraka, Citzen Kane, My Life as a Dog, Amelie, Delicatessan, Seven Samurai.
All I seem to watch these days are Japanese films. Anime, TV, I'm not fussy if it's in Japanese!

Your post will come in very handy. Thanks for the list.

火垂るの墓 sounds very interesting I might grab that first.

Just saw 火垂るの墓 it was a very good movie, I recommend it for people who are after a more serious anime.
