Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $8.49 His books are great, but this documentary is a much better way to experience his vision and the vast amount of work that goes into his pieces.
|
 | The Thin Red Line - DTS
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $0.23 My all-time favorite war film. Overshadowed by Saving Private Ryan, which came out the same year, but TTRL is far more thoughtful.
|
 | Princess Mononoke
Buy new: $18.49 / Used from: $10.39 Somehow stages both human and animal wars in an ancient Japanese forest. All of Miyazakis work is worth seeing.
