i dunno about you lot but i find My Nieghbours the Yamadas moving aswell! it just ordinary family life and so i can relate to it with things that have happen to me and my family. its funny, heart warming and moving. i find many scenes from that film moving but one of my favourites is when Nobouru gets a phone call from a girl 
also scenes from kikis delivery service moved me - when she lost her powers but the scene when she takes shelter in the train because the storm is too strong i find that one of the most moving scene in kikis
i really love trains  lol especially in movies lol
very moving

I havn't seen Yamadas but it's on my list of must buy films.
Another scene that's just come to my mind is in Porco Rosso. When he's telling the young girl (forgotton her name :S) about the dog fight. What really stuck in my mind was all the planes flying in the sky together. Maybe I've not understood the scene but to me it was like a depiction of heaven for fallen pilots.
It was actually my friend who pointed this scene out to me but when we watched it together he was really moved by this. He said: 'these Ghibli films have something special that I can't describe, but are rare in modern day cinema.'
I think he had a point

for me there were many special moments in most of ghibli movies. but the most touching ones would be the train scene of spirited away and the scene where Zeniba gives a hair tie to Chichiro and says that it would protect her cause it's made from the threads wove by her friends
oh and yeah its my first message here so hello everyone

I'd have to say the most moving ghibli scene is the one in Laputa where Pazu is imprisoned, Sheeta tells him to leave and he walks back home. I've never actually cried but that is one of the only parts where my eyes get moist.

Ok, a couple from Whisper that get my tear ducts working:
Well it's one long scene really but it has two parts.
1) The night before Seiji is leaving for Italy and he goes to the library and finds Shizuku studying there. He quietly gets a book and sits opposite her but doesn't disturb her. After a while she notices this person opposite and looks up and sees him. He tells her to keep on working, he doesn't want to disturb her. She returns to her work with this angelic blissful smile on her face. Its just perfect, a perfect scene, full of a simple undemanding love.
Remember also it was in the library that Seiji first saw Shizuku a long time ago and that made him start taking out the fairy tale books she liked to read so that she'd find his name on the cards.
Notice also this is a symbol of what is to follow in the next two months while he's away. He is in her life now but not disturbing her and letting her get on with her work (i.e. her writing). It's a subtle scene and designed to work two ways.
2) Right after this when he says good bye and he holds out his hand and she takes it. Just as they are holding hands a car comes round the bend in the road behind him up the Iroha-Zaka slope and the headlights illuminate their held hands.
Notice that they are standing outside the shrine which is the same shrine (called Kompira-Guh) where Sugimura told Shizuku he loved her.
No to one boy, yes to the other. At the same shrine where she rejected him, Shizuku accepted Seiji. Its a great, almost poetical connection and balance, a yin and yang thing.
By this time I'm crying, every time. Its such a sweet scene, beautifully crafted, every detail in it has meaning.

Can I I just say that was a wonderful reply from Saddletank. I confess WoTH is a Ghibli film that I've always liked but it's never been a fave. That analysis of the scenes was really impressive. When I get back from India I'll watch it more carefully. thanks

yeah that was good analysis, and i can see why. WOTH is his baby, he knows the thing inside and out. im still a train scene SA guy, and i dont plan on switiching, but you do state your argument, and prove it. makes other people recognize the other less obvious choices.

I jst love the whole feeling of WotH.
Theres so many scenes that, in terms of animation touch me.
Things that ina normal movie, happen, but in an anime often go unnoticed because they are too everyday.
I love it when she pushes him up the hill... and the jacket fgalls off.
Love it.

Ghibli films have a great talent in capturing the everyday occurences and putting them in a new light. Things I took for granted when I was growing up and now remember as the happiest. Ghibli takes these moments in his movies to stop and think about the story. I love all of those moments, they show Miyasaki's artistic ability coming out. In Tango there are times that we stop and lean close maybe sway in the moment of the music. these moments when we pause in the music bring life to the dance and life to the music. the same goes to ghibli films, when it gives a quiet moment and shows the characture in quiet thought. I love all these moments. Kiki listening to music at the begining of the movie, Chihiro looking around outside the bath house seeing the train, Sophie looking out the hat shops window and seeing howls castle. I love all these moments.

I love Whisper too. That's why I picked it for my answer. Unfotunately, I've only seen it once so I haven't been able too look into it as far as Saddles. Though I doubt that if I watched it everyday for the rest of my life I'd be able to look into it as far as Saddles.

I think this is a great answer. Expecting answers like this library scene, that train scene, Yamadas is a nice surprise. Not to mention the fact that this is a good point: while many Ghibli scenes are moving in the sheer beauty of the story, the animation and the subtle pieces making up the picture, Yamadas is moving in such a different way: it is natural, believable, simple and above all possible to happen within the next day of your life, making it clever, funny and giving you that warm fuzzy feeling deep inside.

Sorry to mention it again but for me Whisper is almost like a poem or a piece of really good music. It works on so many levels and has so much symbolism in it, layers and layers of stuff. The whole movie is just one long connected string of perfect scenes and moments.
I think its about time I wrote up a proper discussion about it for my blog, a series of articles maybe.
There's scenes in almost all Ghibli movies that affect me to one extent or another. None of them is weak, all of them contain something moving or wonderful.
There are even quite simple scenes in movies like Totoro or Kiki that affect me. Tombo stood waiting outside the bakery for ages in the rain for example - such a sad scene.

Two many scenes too list xDD
Spirited Away: The train scene is indeed quite an inovative scene. It's insane, but the emotions are buried too deeply within me to describe *cries in a corner*
And, also, the scene where Lin and Chihiro are scene sitting on the cat-walk outside of their room, peering out onto the sea and the train is seen, and Lin gives her monologue. Many scenes...
Laputa: That whole movie is a heart-wrenching, touching moment. I think that one, though based on Gulliver's Travels, may even go deeper than some of Miyazaki's more Japanese culture-entwined ones.
But the scene I think most touching is where Mooska begins to blow Sheeta's braids off with his gun, but she stands tall despite that fact, and the inspirational music in the background adds to that too xDD
xDD ok that's it for me <33333333

Ho Momoko, nice to have you here. Welcome!
I agree with you on Laputa. I like that tender moment when Sheeta climbs up the ladder to the look-out post atop the Tiger Moth, and gets in with Pazu, and she's freezing cold and he invites her under the poncho to keep warm. So cute.
There is this very short moment, only a couple of seconds where she's rubbing her arms to keep warm and he looks at her and you can see in the expression on his face the kindness there, as he prepares to offer her the warmth of the poncho.
In those couple of seconds I think he might have other feelings for her too, stronger ones, and this is maybe the first time he's having them.
Its such a lovely moment.

Pleasure to meet you Momoko
This isn't exactly a scene but an aspect of Ghibli films as a whole that I love and find moving.
In virtually every film characters express their felings for one another, romantic or otherwise. I won't list examples as you know them yourselves. However, they never go overboard and turn trivial. To elaborate I mean that most other films often have a sexual element in characters realationships to get the viewing ratings up.
Ghibli films, thank heavens, don't do this and focus on other forms of love such as: companionship, romantic, brotherly and sisterly affection etc. I'm not saying these are more or less complex, that's down to the viewers opinion, but it certainly makes a refreshing change for me.

Don't know about you guys but when Satsuki and Mei deliver the corn that Mei picked saying "To Mother" in "My Neighbor Totoro" i thought that was quite touching since they were watching in the tree. I also like the scene in "Princess Mononoke" where Ashitaka protects San in the settlement from attack xD

Ya well, to me anyway... I like how you get not only small meaningful moments but also how the whole movie has a meaning to itself. I cant say. (I don't want to sound like a dork but...) I get happy and relaxed whenever I watch one...
