19) The Wind Rises ( 2013)

The Wind Rises is another masterpiece by director Hayao Miyazaki, who also directed Spirited Away. The film is based on Miyazaki's manga of the same name and tells the story of Jiro Horikoshi, an aircraft designer in pre-World War II Japan. It combines historical events with stunning animation, creating a dreamy and emotional narrative. Although it's more grounded in reality than Spirited Away, it shares themes of love, perseverance, and the impact of dreams on our lives.
