Nice choices i enjoyed all those movies especially Oliver and Company. I still remembered seeing O&C in theaters when i was 7 when it first came out about 4 times and loved it as i had some of the merchandise from Mcdonalds singing ornuments to Mcdonalds toys to a couple of t-shirts to readalong book with cassette and still own the CD soundtrack which was my first CD, one of my favorite disney movies and i also saw Beauty and Beast in theaters when i was 10 about 4 times as i had a crush on Belle and dug the film.
I also saw Ghostbusters in it's 85 re-issue, Little Shop of Horrors, All 3 Back to the Futures and American Tail with Honey i Shrunk 1 & 2 in theaters as a kid.
People said that this was Miyazaki's opus, but others said it was Princess Mononoke. I didn't really care for the latter, so my opinion falls on Spirited Away. I've watched it since I first heard about it.
I happen to have the DVD, but it's seldom used. I had the VHS, but my brother destroyed it.

Miyazaki is a genius.
But, I haven't seen it in years, I'm hoping to get the DVD soon.
