All of them? No. But there are so many great things in them you can't just bury them away like Spirited away, your neighbour Totoro...
You don't like them? I understand that totally, but they are masterpieces.
Like I just hate the Bolero and think Mosart is 'meh' I guess (toccata&fugue in D minor by Bach, now that rocks!).
I mean in general, not really all of them (for example, Spirited Away gets honorable mention on every list). I remember reviewers for Totoro trying their hardest to not spotlight the fact it has such a jumbled plot when movies have been panned for that before. A masterpiece is supposed to impart something onto someone, but except for Spirited Away and arguably Marnie, my main reaction was little more than "well now I can say I saw it".
Grave of the fireflies left a deep impression with me. I recently saw a bunch of them with my girlfriend and I've come to the conclusion that most are nice looking long TV show episodes. Which is fine for what the are.
