If you liked Tenkuu no Shiro Laputa add

...then you might like Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo add

Castle in the Sky is Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo's most obvious influence, with many similar plot elements. Some of the characters play similar roles as well - particularly with Morisaki using a young girl and her crystal to achieve a long-held dream that involves an ancient, dying civilization. However, as far as the characters' relationships to one another, I'd say that Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo actually produces a more nuanced, thought-provoking result. If you've seen and liked either Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo or Castle in the Sky, but haven't watched the other, than that other is a must-see.
