Kiki is one of my all-time favorites.
Several years ago, the local theater did a run of a bunch of Ghibli movies, and my friends talked me into Kiki's. I had never seen it before.
At the time, I was majorly burnt out, on the verge of suicide, straight up not having a good time. I lost my job, my art, and my magic. To be honest, I didn't even want to go out with my friends then, but somehow they managed to convince me and I'm glad they did.
Watching the movie felt like being run over by a train. Here's this little girl going through what I'm going through, and somehow everything ends up okay. I think about it a lot, and watch it a couple times a year.
I'm still struggling, but things are better than they were. I'm probably due for a rewatch.
