For me it would be Princess Mononoke, which is also one of my favorite films, period. I really appreciate the maturity and nuance it brings to it's environmental themes, which have been done in many other films, but not as well.

Princess Mononoke is my favorite for sure. I love the character design, the setting, the environmental storytelling. And wulfy

Besides that though…I really really liked Spirited Away. So rich and nuanced. I liked the twists and turns the film took

I absolutely love Mononoke. I just rewatched it a few days ago and it really impressed me again. It's one of the most soft-spoken movies I've ever seen, and the story is top-tier. Unlike some of Ghibli's other movies, it's a movie that's actually about humans -- not fantastical human-shaped characters, but the real nature of human beings and their place in a dangerous primordial world full of other thinking beasts and gods.
