19. Quest for Camelot
Why you should watch it: A cool-as-hell girl named Kayley wants to be a knight, so she marches right up to King Arthur himself to tell him. The cast for this movie is insane, too: Cary Elwes, Jane Seymour, Pierce Brosnan, and Gary Oldman, just to name a few.
20. The Pagemaster
Why you should watch it: Not only does it have a star-studded cast (Whoopi Goldberg! Macaulay Culkin! Patrick Stewart!), but this movie is for any pessimist who secretly wishes to be more optimistic.
21. And, of course, Spirited Away
Why you should watch it: Named one of the best animated films of all time by Time, Spirited Away is about a little girl who moves to a new neighborhood and somehow enters the spiritual world. The film has really damn cool concept, and it also does a brilliant job at telling its story.
