Imma steal your movie list teehee

80s:
Nausicaa - nausicaa saving baby ohmu
Laputa - reaching Laputa
Totoro - mei on totoro's belly
Grave of Fireflies - filling candy can with water
Kiki - when kiki can't fly and jiji runs off lol

90s:
Porco - porco and gina dining
Omohide - young Taeko's family eatting pineapples
Poko - tanukis watching TV
Whisper - violin play
On Your Mark - the whole thing too

Late 90s and the early 21st century
Mononoke - san and ashitaka in the forest after fight in iron town
Yamada - the grandma and the motorcycle gang
Sen - the frog getting swallowed
Neko - whenever haru as a cat
Ghiblies - havent seen

Gosh, there are so many. But if I had to nail it down to one for each film that I've seen...

Late 80s
Nausicaa - the final glider sequence when Nausicaa allows herself to be targeted in order to show her intent*
Laputa - the Laputa robot guard reawakening to find Sheeta, in the military castle/fort
Totoro - n/a
Fireflies- Setsuko playing by herself at the bomb shelter while Seito is out stealing/finding food, near end of movie *
Kiki - n/a

Early 90s
Porco - The women building the new plane
Omohide - n/a
Poko - n/a
Whisper - n/a
On Your Mark - n/a

Late 90s and the early 21st century
Mononoke - Princess mononoke feeding the inert and weak Ashitaka from her own mouth*
Yamada - n/a
Sen - Train sequence (one of my personal favorite sequenes in any film EVER)*
Neko - n/a
Ghiblies - n/a

* the best ones IMO

And if I had to choose one favorite sequence amongst all those finalists, hands down- the Spirited Away train sequence. It so effectively nails down the difference in Chihiro's character from what she once was at the beginning of the story, yet it is also such a minimalistic scene, since no action is really taking place- it's like the calm after the storm. It blows me away every time I see it.

Sen - the part where haku and sen freefalls
Mononoke - the scene where ashitaka hugs san after the deer god got pwned
HMC - the part where sophie enters Howls room and just looks at him while he's sleeping
Neko - the last part where they run along the stairs made out of flying crows

Laputa: When Sheeta and Pazu arrive at Laputa and they were knocked out then they woke up and they were tied together so Pazu picked her up and brought her to the edge of the little thingy they were on....i like just about every scene when they are together...they make such a cute couple and i don't see why they just have to be friends

Nausicaa: when Nausicaa get's shot trying to save the baby ohmu and then her foot get's in the acid but the baby comforts her. and also when Nausicaa dies but all the ohmu bring her back to life

If only one movie I can choose, I will take "TOTORO".

Favorite Scene:

The Chaski and her sister Mei tellinf their father that the new house could be a ghost house. The father saying to live in a ghost is his dream...

In many traditional societies. If the kids tell the parents they seeing a ghost. (Actually, kids are afraid of ghosts.) the adults often will blame kids and stop kids talking about ghost.

I like the father in TOTORO. He comfort his kids without any trouble. and he make the kids to forget about the ghost. That is a great father.

I also like the moment in Nausicaa when she saves that little ohmu but my favourite scenes ever are those two in Spirited away and Totoro: Totoro, of course, the bus-stop scene and in Spirited away I like the whole bath-house and every scene in it, especially when Tishiro (I don't know the exact spelling of her name) first finds herself inside.

Umm...

Nausicaa - Nausicaa visiting her memories with the younger Ohmu.

Laputa - Pazu and Sheeta during their last meeting with Mooska and gun (gawd, that was so touching), and SHeeta crying on Pazu's shoulder.

Totoro - Mei copying Satsuki in their search for the toilet.

GOTF - Setsuko's death.

Kiki - Kiki and Ursula's time together.

Porco - Porco seeing Fio's plane design.

Only Yesterday - Um, the ending? That was really good.

PomPoko - GHOSTS!!! WOOOO!!! :lol:

Mimi - This one's hard, but I guess it's the rooftop scene.

Mononoke - San being told she was beautiful by a dying Ashitaka, and Ashitaka crying while being fed by San.

SA - On the train. Beautiful in its sad silent solitude.

Neko - The maze, I guess. Nothing spectacular in this movie IMO.

Howl - Sophie speaking up to Madam Sulliman.

Yep, pretty much it. Most of tem are those touchy scenes, but then my idea of a good scene is one where feelings are conveyed strongly.

How can you ask me to Choose!

My Favoritist is when the Baron is dancing with Haru in the Cat Returns!

Nausicaa-when the little boy has to say the password Valley! to get into the base

Laputa-wow its been a long time since ive seen that! umm I like the point where they are takeing watch for the Pirates and they dont know there listening

Totoro-You meen Golly Wolly Pogs I love it when the dad feels wind coming in through the window and thinks he hear's owl's or somethin?

Kiki-I love it when she talks to the Artist because I want to grow up to be like the Artist ^^

Mononoke-When Ashitaka goes and works with the girls on making the iron ^^ he's so strong!

Spirited Away-When Haku is telling her that she'll be able to see her parents again and he feed's her but then these giant tears come out that was so amazing

I am still in the after shock of watching The Cat Returns though so I am going to be daydreaming alot!

__________________

Someday I will find my Baron. . .

Tell you what I remember:

Nausicaa: Whew, lots of scenes I like extremely much
Discovering underground caverns with pure sand with Asbel;
Scene with wounded ohmu was SOOO painful, but at the same time very moving...

Laputa:
Scene with railroad chasing - awesomely done!
I liked part where Pazu and Sheeta is on a pirates ship - lots of funny moments, and such... Also Laputa itself was impressive.

Totoro: I don't even know. The sheer innocence there amazes me everytime Mei looks upon some new interesting object (frogs, totoros, sootballs... everything)
But the one most funny for me there is where Mei is visiting school with Satsuki, and is drawing Totoro.

Porco Rosso: Actually evening before gradn competition between Curtis and Pig was the most entertaining/moving piece.

Mononoke: Mononokes bullrush at the Lady Eboshi, and also little, white wood spirits were awesome.

Spirited Away: There is so many episodes I love... Freeingthe air spirit from all kinds of waste, soothballs and their hard work, Chihiros enormous tears, and Haku's words... Train to Jubaba's sister, how Chihiro remembers Haku's real name... All these is exceptionally done!

Howl: Probably Howl and Sophie at the sectret meadow, but I have yet to see the movie on big screen or on DVD, whichever comes forst in my small country...

I LOVE the ending of Nausicaa. I always get a little teary-eyed. It's like, you can FEEL the characters' grief at (almost) losing their Princess. Especially the kids. They look up to Nausicaa as their big sister...

OYM... the whole thing was awesome. Especially the first ending (those poor cops...) But they didn't give up! That's an admirable trait, even with villains.

__________________
I am a flight risk (literally).

lets see....

mononoke: when san is on top of iron town and runs to kill lady iboshi but then ashitaka stunns them both!!

laputa: hmmm... when the floor falls out on all the people in that weird room

kiki: when kiki saves tombo from falling... it scared me ½ to death

spirited away: when haku is being attacked and chihiro yells some thing like Haku! get u'm! come on!! in the japanese versoin her voice echoed...hehe

nausicaa: when she saves the baby ohmu from the people with the flying pot...

totoro: when they all make the trees grow

proco rosso: when they get in the fist fight and porco fially stands up hehe

Ok, let's go with it:

Lupin 3rd - cheating a police officer
Laputa - escape from Dora and her sons
Totoro - when girls meet Totoro on the bus station!
Kiki - looking for a city (with that great music )
Porco Rosso - final scene (when Fio kiss Porco!)
Pom Poko - parade! There's a Totoro and Kiki
Whisper - scenes from girl's imagination, with Baron, and when she sing "Country road" with musicans
On Your Mark - all , but the best part is deffinitelly when angel is start to flying
Mononoke - the openning scene
Sen - train sequence - it's so beautiful! And when Chichro tells Haku his real name.
Neko - when King of Cats visit Haru, with his guards
Hauru - when Hauru and Sofie are flying in the city. And Saliman's attack - scene is just perfect!
