Of Ghibli(/Miyazaki)'s movies, I like Kiki's delivery service, Ponyo, Only yesterday and Howl's moving castle the most. Grave of the fireflies is also brilliant, but very very dark for an anime (it's about a boy and a girl during WWII in Japan). Castle of Cagliostro (although not officially a Ghibli movie) is very funny too.
I forgot to mention Paprika, I really like that movie, although I agree it's a bit trippy from time to time. If you like Paprika, you should definitely check out Serial Experiments: Lain, Redchild. Paprika reminded me of SE:L from time to time (both dealing with alternate realities, SE:L about virtual reality, Paprika about the dreamworld).
