I very much want to see Nausicca again, mainly because I saw it when I was in Japan and they didn't have a sub-titled version available. I watched it anyway and tried to figure everything out with my very limited Japanese but it was difficult. I haven't had a chance to rent it again.
The same is true of LaPuta ( I think it is called Castle in the Sky here in the States). My husband was able to translate a lot of the story for me at the time but I still want to see it dubbed or sub-titled.
(I recently saw Atlantis and was disgusted by the rather shameless rip off of a lot of LaPuta scenes.)
There is so much about the man's work that I love. I could watch his films over and over. They way he works with sound and light and silence is amazing. There is another film, not directed by him but made by Studio Ghibli, that is very good. I think the English title is "If you listen, you will hear." I don't know if it has been dubbed or subtitled yet but it is a fabulous look at modern Japan, full of all the incredible attention to detail and characterization typical of Miyazaki's films.
I had no idea Miyazaki was making a film from a DWJ book! It's funny, but I remember reading Fire and Hemlock and thinking "Miyazaki could make this into a fantastic film". Which one of her books is he using? We will have to tell x-h00ine, as DWJ is one of her favorite authors in the world. Of course, she says she hates anime but maybe you can convince her to give Miyazaki a chance. :)
