I've been seeing amv recs popping up around my rlist, so I thought I'd offer up a few Studio Ghibli vids on recommedation:

Fix You, Howl's Moving Castle. Howl/Sophie, soft and tentative and delicate and sweet. A pretty vid, with long slow cuts that nevertheless carry momentum.

That's Where You'll Find Me, Howl's Moving Castle. A long vid, clocking in at four minutes, meaty and satisfying. Builds to a fairly intense climax.

Tranquil Voices, Laputa. Pretty much one of my favorite vids ever, anime or live action. It has this kind of - soaring feeling to it.

Love Burns Brighter, Laputa. Sheeta/Pazu. Totally awesome.

Dreams Take Flight, Laputa. This is a lighter vid, more pop, more sparkly. It's my go-to "I have stuff to get done and I need to power up" vid. Great cheerful energy, with a candy center.

Rainy Season, Spirited Away. An introspective hero-vid for Chihiro. I wish the end didn't pull the "it was all a dream" cop-out, but the first 3/4th of the vid are so wonderfully evocative that I still think it's worth it.

You should read The Anime Machine by Tom Lamarre, it offers a whole new perspective on Laputa (and now I can say that it's no accident that Laputa is Shinkai Makoto's favorite movie).
