Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke. Those two are tied for first place. I love Chihiro's determination and lack of greed and downright courage; I love San for her fierce love of nature; and I love Lady Eboshi (despite the fact that she's indirectly responsible for corrupting a couple of gods into demons) because she builds a refuge for people that society doesn't want--lepers and prostitutes. And all of them are flawed people who grow and become better.

And they DO things! This is particularly wonderful in my eyes because Protagonists Who Don't Do Anything are becoming something of a thing in fiction and I HATE it. Give me an active protagonist any day of the week.

BTW, did you know that Hollywood writing schools actually teach screenwriters NOT to pass the Bechdel Test? That's just fucked up.
