Director: Hayao Miyazaki

This list wouldn’t be complete without mention of the greatest Japanese animator. His films are fairy stories which capture the social and cultural essence of Japan. They are invariably epic, beautiful, and touching. Spirited Away follows the adventures of a melancholy ten year old girl, who stumbles upon a world of monsters and spirits in the midst of her family’s move to the country.
