Nausicaä manga on the other hand, now that's just godly. Massive, sweeping storyline, superbly fleshed out characters with plenty of depth and very thought-provoking and aweinspiring subject matter. Had he made the film after finishing the manga, it would have certainly turned out a far better realised motion picture.

Nah, the story line for the Nausica manga was already there, just wasn't published yet when the movie came out.
I like how you left out certain Studio Ghibli production films that he didn't produce directly but still was an active part of in the making.
I'd definitely have to say my favorite is Castle in the Sky. Or Laputa, to be elitist or whatever. Been a fan for 20 years. Doesn't seem like that's going to change that much in the next 20 years either, judging by the way how family-oriented movies are made these days.
Double Post:
And another thought:
You're obviously going to lose out on votes on which movies he made were
superior out of the choices you've listed, because quite frankly although the maker of the films is well known through one or two awards (them being the newest out of the collection), his most deserving works probably aren't as seen as much as it should be. (Kudos for getting the chronological order of films correct though)
Jam it back in, in the dark.
