This is so difficult. So many good movies came out in 10 years. It's just hard to decide. These are just my top 10 and arn't in any order

-Avatar (2009)
-Lord of the Ring's Trilogy (2001-2004) - I know this isn't one movie but together they tell one story so it counts. :P
-Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (2000)
-Gladiator (2000)
-K-Pax (2001)
-Pirates of the Caribbean (2003-2008)
-O brother, where art thou (2000)
-Cast away (2000)
-V for Vendetta (2005)
-District 9 (2009)


Honorable Mention

-Chocolat (2000)
-The Bourne Series (2002-2008)
-Zodiac (2007)
-Shrek (2001)
-Kingdom of Heaven (2005)
-Slumdog Millionaire (2008)
-Gran Tarino (2009)
-Serenity (2005)
-I am sam (2001)
-Stardust (2007)
-Hero (2002)
-Star Trek (2009)

I like a lot of movies so it was hard not to do honorable mention. I left out a lot of movies I really do like in this list but ten movies is a limited number for 10 years of movies.
 
I'm writing a film essay, so I'm justifying this procrastination because it's film related :becky:

Oooh this hard. Very hard...

1. Donnie Darko

2. The Piano Teacher

3. Bowling for Columbine

4. 21 Grams

5. Half Nelson

6. Lost in translation

7. Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter... and Spring

8. American History X

9. Lilya 4 Ever

10. Rainy Dog

That was painful :m142:
 
i dunno, i can't make such lists, there are too many. I'll just copy/paste some films i'd consider as favourites out of those already mentioned.

The Lives of Others
Amelie
The Science of Sleep
Mulholland Drive
Memento
city of god
Black Swan
The Prestige
