From Reelwire: In this list that was found online, Spirited Away is one of the movies that the Oscars made famous. Do you agree with them? Slumdog Millionaire is also another.

Hayao Miyazaki’s Kiki’s Delivery Service does indeed deliver. What, you might ask? 105 minutes of a great animated film that’s a coming-of-age story for a young witch named Kiki. Kiki isn’t a witch like you’d imagine witches to be. She’s more of a kind-hearted, Glenda from the Wizard of Oz type of witch. More »
