Princess Mononoke - 10/10
Cold Mountain - 7.5/10
Wow, I don't know why it took me so long to get around to watching Princess Mononoke, but it was amazing. I watched it with Japanese audio and subtitles, but started watching it again with the english dub straight after. I made it about 15 mins in when it just annoyed me at how much worse the English-speaking voice actors were compared to the Japanese ones - especially at expressing different emotions. The Japanese voices were so lively while the English voices made it sound like all the characters were in a coma.
Cold Mountain was also quite good. I missed the first 20 minutes or so though, and will likely hire it out sometime to catch-up.
