Spirited Away - Princess Mononoke - My Neighbor Totoro - Poco Rosso - Arriety - Kiki's Delivery Service - Castle in the Sky - Grave of the Fireflies (A very sad and poignant film.) All of these suggestions are by the director of Howl's Moving Castle, Hayao Miyazaki.

Another very similar director is MamoruHosoda, who was initially going to be the director of Howl's Moving Castle, but replaced by Miyazaki in the early stages of productions. His films include Wolf Children, which is extremely similar in tone to Miyazaki.
