There ya go. I knew it was impossible not to find any films from this decade memorable.
One film out of 10 years ain't bad.

Here's my list. There were others I wanted to put on it, but I really tried to narrow it down. It wasn't easy. And I feel like there may still be some obvious ones that I have forgotten.
I also just want to add that these would be my favorites, not necessarily the best films of the past decade. That list would be quite different. These are just the ones I enjoyed the most.

Awesome.
Ah. Noted. That's a good point.Sweet! Good thinking.I'd virtually forgotten all about The Triplets of Belleville.
Yes. Irresistible.
Yes. Ordinarily, it seems to me, great film adaptations vary more from the source material. Generally, they bring some new sensibility or they fail. However, because of the greater appreciation that it facilitated, this is one that still counts.
No. If you enjoyed it, fine, but it's no great documentary, just stand-up.
yep, i love the first one, i think i has a lot to do with the fact that i was so unsure what to expect, and i was blown away with darkness of it compared to the previous attempts..
Batman Begins, but not The Dark Knight?
.
While the Dark Knight was also an excellent film, it didn't mesmorise me the way BB did. The whole mystic training and origins where fantastically done in my humble opinion.
ah, I totally forgot about Cloverfield. I'm editing my list now.

I completely forgot about Spirited Away. One of my favorites along with Hero and Fearless.

another one of my favorites: Let the right one in
if the worlds gonna end then let's get it over with, i got shit to do
Oh, that was a great movie. Hunger was also quite impressive - I have a soft spot for Irish movies, I really do.
"...neither the stupid jokes nor the easy surface emotions were the truth of Cuthbert Allgood."
These are all great lists, I haven't seen much that I can't at least understand...some I might not agree with, but can understand. Like someone mentioned, these are our favorites, not necessarily the best. So, here's my list of favorites, not necessarily the best:
1. The Departed
2. Pan's Labyrinth
3. American Psycho
4. Batman Begins (I also prefer this to the Dark Knight, although DK is more visually impressive and Heath Ledger is brilliant, I didn't find the story anything to write home about)
5. SNAKES ON A PLANE!
6. Revenge of the Sith (sorry)
7. The Bourne movies
8. Shrek
9. Million Dollar Baby
10. Harry Potter, but mostly 3-5...and mostly GOF
11. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
12. Minority Report
13. A.I. (even the last twenty minutes, though they took some warming up to)
14. Requiem for a Dream
15. Cloverfield
I'm sure there are more....I just can't think of them.

Well, favorite films of the decade (1900 version) isn't likely to be a huge thread.
I think we'd be safe with starting with the 1920s or so. I doubt too many people have many favorites before then !!

"Clowns Spinning Hats" is a masterpiece, but "Tramp Buying Potatos" is a real tear-jerker.
Only when you think about what is going to be done to the poor defenseless potatos.

My problem is I need to go back and see what movies were released when to do a list like this.
Well, Brice, now is your chance... starting in 2010 ... you need to keep a Film Log ( just like me ) so that you can go back and just pick out your favorites in 10 years...
