    Miyazaki

    Only one Miyazaki film? What about "Spirited Away," and "Kiki's Delivery Service," not to mention "Whispers of the Heart," "The Cat Returns," "Graveyard of the Fireflies," and many others by that studio. You could build one hell of a library on just Studio Ghibli films alone.

    And I might mention one that would probably wind up under the surprises: "The Three Lives of Thomasina." This isn't that well known, so it doesn't surprise me that it's not here, but if you haven't seen it, you should. It's from back when Disney treated their audience with respect. Plus, it's got Patrick McGoohan in it.

    And I second - third? Fourth? - the addition of Pixar films.
