These are my favorite movies within the last 10 years, I highly recommend all of these if you haven't seen them before. I will write a some thoughts for a few of them which I think are sort of lesser known.
In no specific order:
1. Lost in Translation(2003)
Do you like Scarlett Johansson and japan? then this drama is for you, Bill Murray plays an actor that visits japan on a business trip, while Scarlett Johansson's character is a wife of a photographer that's working in japan, they meet up, and a fun/thoughtful(?) relationship unfolds as they are "Lost in Translation"
2. Okuribito(Departures)(2008)
This movie was very powerful for me, it will change the way you think about people who work in jobs revolving around death, it also tells a very REAL story that will make you think for days and maybe forever. It has received rave reviews in Japan and in the foreign market, not to mention it won 2009's academy award for best foreign language film.
3. Moon(2009)
Easily the most amazing movie Sam Rockwell has been in, this is the best independent film I've ever seen in my life. 100minutes of a 1 man show, this drama/mystery movie will have you thinking til the very end, I won't say much because it might spoil the movie  please go and see this(or download? o_o)
4. Be Kind Rewind (2008)
This masterpiece of a comedy will give you a dose of nostalgia, as Jack Black and mos def help run a video cassette store, Jack black's character get's magnetized and walks in the store one day which erases all the VHS tapes, and to prevent the problem from reaching the owner of the store, they make versions of their own movies which they call 'SWEDED', hilarity ensues.
5. GLADIATOR (2000)
Seriously if you haven't seen this you ain't shit
6. I am Legend (2007)
Will Smith at his finest
7. Inglourious Basterds (2009)
IMO Quentin Tarantino's best film to date.
8. Watchmen (2009)
If you are mature enough and can ignore a blue penis that comes up a couple times, then watch this if you haven't yet.
9. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
The best Brad Pitt movie imo(fightclub fanboys will disagree)
10. District 9 (2009)
This movie put Neill Blomkamp and Sharlto Copley on the map, and gave sci-fi a new style of making movies
I'm interested to see what others will list as their top 10 movies in the last decade, if you have a list post it!

I wouldn't give this list to my worst enemy.

I am legend? Watchmen? District 9? Man I didn't like any of those 
I Am Legend had the worst ending in movie history (I also saw the alternative ending and it was worse)
Watchmen well I never watched the full movie, I was busy throwing up. I tried to watch it twice
During District 9 I was just annoyed at the accents the entire movie
|
the curious case of benjamin button?
|
Anyone who doesnt have Oldboy on top 10 of just a decade( i can cut some slack to alltime) fails as a human being!!!!

First two were promising then you for some reason decided to turn the list into a parody.

I agree the released ending of i am legend is among the worst ive ever seen. But the alternate was much much much better, would have actually made it a good movie to be honest.
I like reasoned out lists like this instead of the same 10 movies everyone else says
|
Mh, none of these would get into my top 10.
I am legend was OK at best,
Moon and Be Kind Rewind are both pretty cool though.
Loved lost in translation when I watched it in cinema but since then I've started to dislike Scarlett Johansson and rewatching this movie doesnt really do it for me anymore.
got myself departures but still havent come around to watching it.

You just have to be a bit more mature about these things. It's a human body part. Actually, I'd be a little concerned as to why you feel it would crop up on you so often.

Dude wtf, Departures is the most sentimentalist pussy shit I've ever seen. I actually have no idea how it translated so well to the academy since working with death has not nearly the same degree of cultural taboo in the US as it does in Japan. The movie, besides the weeping bland sentimental BS all over, is basically about omfg don't care about what other people think, do your own thing bro. There are a million movies with the same plot:
Protagonist does A
Various friends, relatives, and acquaintances of protagonist disapprove of A citing moral disagreement.
Protagonist embodies the attitude of "Haters gonna hate."
Close friend/relative of protagonist who disapproves of A gets into trouble.
Protagonist uses the skills he has learned from A to save close friend/relative/hater.
Close friend/relative no longer hates.
The end.

This is my opinion, I'm not trying to make it a fact. write-up your own list instead of making a dumb comment like this
This list is my personal taste in top 10 favorites within 10 years, if I were critiquing these hardcore then a lot of these probably wouldn't have come up on my list

1.) Children of Men
2.) 25th Hour
3.) The Departed
4.) Kill Bill Vol. 1
5.) The Incredibles
6.) Star Trek
7.) ?????????
You know what... Gladiator probably deserves to be on the list.
I really liked Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Un prophète was really good, Amores Perros was very good but when I saw it I didn't know shit about appreciating movies. I'll have to watch it again.
Oldboy is probably in there somewhere.

I'm liking this list more already
Needs more Bourne

Watchmen was such a terrible movie. It was so boring, the only interesting part was the blue penis. Was there any action in Watchmen? I turned it off 3/4 the way through
