OH NOOO! T____T He wasn't that old, was he? That came out of nowhere!. I own Millenium actress, I LOOOOOOVE that movie and I've seen Tokyo grandfathers too and I did cry like crazy watching it. I have yet to see the others, but he sure was a master storyteller. It is really a crime he passed T___T. People like that should live forever.
Thanks for the rundown of his life's work, because alas, I haven't watched any of his films yet. I remember seeing Tokyo Godfathers when I used to browse through pirated DVD stores, but I didn't buy it because of the mangled Engrish summary.
My goal right now is to watch more Miyazaki; I guess I'll tackle Satoshi Kon afterwards. So little time, so many directors!
They're all exceptionally brilliant. I've seen all Miyazaki-sensei's work multiple times (in 2 languages, since the English dubs of his work are really good).
When I find a good director I tend to get into their work, same for good author.
M. Night Shamalayan is the exception - since "The Happening" was so goddamn awful, I plan to never see another of his films until he stops being crazy. In my mind it's like he's going through a "blue period" - like Picasso, but only really, really, horrible.

He has a film in post-production, I hope it doesn't get ruined.
