I started watching a bunch of Ghibli films for the first time this year:
My Neighbor Totoro
Spirited Away
Howl's Moving Castle
Kiki's Delivery Service

I've seen a couple others in the past as well.

I've come to Ghibli films late in life and assumed they were just Japan's version of Disney: All cute kids films. I was a little shocked at how dark some of the underlying themes are, especially in Spirited Away. I don't know if I would have picked up on everything as a child, but it definitely shocked me watching them.

So far, only Kiki's Delivery Service seems to be the particularly relaxed one out of the 4 above.
