The Egyptian Theatre (Hollywood) and the Aero Theatre (Santa Monica) are screening 15 (!!) Studio Ghibli films. Actually, there’s only 14 more because the series already kicked off yesterday with “Porco Rosso”. But 14 is still a lot and some of them will be shown more than once. It’s going to be hard to choose which ones to see since I want to see them all. I think I’ll limit it to the ones I haven’t seen before. Some of them will be shown with subtitles and others will be dubbed. It doesn’t really matter to me since Studio Ghibli films are dubbed really well, in my opinion. The event page is here. For your convenience (and mine), I’ve sorted the screenings by date below.
