I would recommend Studio Ghibli movies any day. This one is possibly the one I would tell people not to watch if they are not familiar with the other Ghibli movies, because it is so unlike the others in many ways. Still a good movie.

I totally agree and - as you mentioned in another comment - it might have to do with the fact that it is not a Miyazaki film ;>)
While Isao Takahata is a good writer and director, his films are my least liked Ghibli movies. I still watched and enjoyed all of them though.
