Thoroughly enjoyed Gorō Miyazaki's beautifully poignant #Ghibli masterpiece FROM UP ON POPPY HILL (2011) @Netflix - https://t.co/3N2xxiMJGW - gorgeous #animation (of course) & a great generational saga told with style & subtlety from the POV of its teenage protagonists. Love it.

@Ray_Harryhausen As a youngster, I lived in the fantasy worlds of Sinbad & the Greek Myths that Harryhausen brought to life - more recently I reviewed a couple of his films @frameratedUK

Kate Bush is at Number 1, thanks to her timeless, poetic, very distinctive slice of music & vocals... (& #StrangerThings )
Great track (RUNNING UP THAT HILL) from one of the most perfect albums (HOUNDS OF LOVE)

caught up with CASTLE IN THE SKY (1986) in our current #Ghibli season @netflix - https://t.co/jEeJgDIB3u - enjoyed it very much, action-adventure plus poignant eco message - reminded me of SILENT RUNNING (1972)
...& my thoughts on 40 years of E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL (1982)

this week's #Ghibli outing was with HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE (2004) another magical, totally absorbing, beautifully told, unpredictable narrative with endearing characters & themes of love, forgiveness, truth, selfhood, & the wars that result from denial of such things...
enjoyed Hayao Miyazaki's MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO (1988) @netflix - https://t.co/H7vjYpcacD - a perennially positive (in my interpretation) celebration of #spring - plus magical fun with Yōkai... so far, my fave from #Ghibli
