I also really like Castle in the Sky and, once I got used to it's early style oddness, became rather fond of The Castle of Cagliostro.
The one Ghibli I couldn't stand, despite it's Mononoke-like mythos genre, was Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Bleh. Oh, and yeah, Grave of the Fireflies was meh.
Hmmm, "Bleh" and "Meh" ... maybe I ought to give "Nine Borneo's Out of Ten" a run for its money in the film critiique biz.
