I am going to make a point of watching Network. I saw it once in my teens but didn't like it much, probably because it beat Rocky in some categories. Now I'm older and I can see it with a clear head. I've never even heard of My Neighbor Totoro.

Totoro is a Japanese animated film by Hayao Miyazaki (but Disney has done English-language dubs of all his films). It's probably the most adorable animated film I have seen. Very good and very very very cute.
