I'm not asking for the 10 best movies, but your 10 favorite movies of the past decade.

I'm also going to be a little lax and say the "decade" covers 2000-2010. OK, go!

my Top 10 Movies of the 2000s, in no particular order:

  • The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
  • Waltz With Bashir
  • The Lives of Others
  • Bright Star
  • Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King
  • Lust, Caution
  • Amelie
  • Black Book
  • I
 
I guess because I'm still pretty young, most of my favorites are from the 2000s anyways (excepting a few Alfred Hitchcock and Woody Allen films). So this is more just a list of my all-time favorites. :p

- Lost in Translation
- The Princess and the Warrior
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
- Reprise
- The Lives of Others
- Ondine
- Bright Star
- The Science of Sleep
- Brokeback Mountain
- Atonement

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.
