Castle in the sky

I’m not sure if this one counts as underrated but it’s my favourite!
the music (esp the opening scenes), the dynamic between Pazu and Sheeta (Pazu is the sweetest ghibli hero imo), giant robots, ancient floating castles, the usual ghibli focus on nature, love, friendship, etc etc
oh and of course the old lady sky pirate and her band of idiot sons
another honourable mention has gotta be Nausicaä

howl's moving castle (2004)

My favorite work from Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli, as well as one of the first anime I watched when I was a kid and didn't even know what anime was (the first was Pokemon lol). The nostalgia is real but I connect with this film so much more in my late twenties.
When I think of Howl's Moving Castle, I think of love and just how life-changing it can be when you meet someone new who ends up being someone important and special. When people are positive influences on each other and they are for the better from having met and maintaining those bonds. Quite frankly, I live for this shit. This is ofc most evident between the two leads Howl and Sophie, but it's not exclusive to them.
I also think of just how goddamn beautiful and magical this movie is to watch, but that's pretty par for the course when it comes to Miyazaki/Ghibli :)

MARs 2112

had at least 3 birthdays here when I was a kid. it was a massive subterranean mars-themed restaurant with an elevator that looked and felt like a rocket ship (even though it only actually went 2 floors down). pretty sure they turned it it into din tai fung.
