Castle in the Sky (1986)


IMDb plot summary: A young boy and a girl with a magic crystal must race against pirates and foreign agents in a search for a legendary floating castle.
Directed by Hayao Miyazaki. Starring Anna Paquin, James Van Der Beek, Cloris Leachman, and Mark Hamill.

This is in the higher echelon of Miyazaki films, for me. It's got some of his best world and character design (the robots!). Just an excellent movie all around.

4.5 stars.

How it entered my Flickchart:
Castle in the Sky > Dead Man Walking
Castle in the Sky > Baby Driver
Castle in the Sky > Garden State
Castle in the Sky < The Birdcage
Castle in the Sky < Once
Castle in the Sky < The Wizard of Oz
Castle in the Sky > Field of Dreams

Final spot: #314 out of 2758.
