I thought Spirited Away was more interesting as I think it had a lot more to say, for example about modern society:
Ie. Chihiro leaves modern consumerist Japan and steps into a theme park where the buildings reflect a historical Japan and are populated by the neglected Shinto gods. The parents continue their greedy consumerist ways and are turned into swine yet Chihiro turns away from this way of life and as a result leaves the theme park a more mature and better person then when she went in.
I think Miyazaki's films always have a lot to say and I found Howl's moving castle a bit disappointing because although it was a good film I didn't find it interesting on a deeper level.
