Best movies of the 00's

I recently came across a magazine that attempted a list of the best movies made this decade so far. See, I love these topics for two reasons: One, since it's really impossible to say which are the best 10 movies, everyone else will have an opinion, which will make it fun because you can talk movies for hours. Two, because no one will ever agree.

The original list in that magazine was:

1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. M. Gondry, 2004.
2. Kill Bill Vol. 1. Q. Tarantino, 2003.
3. Oldboy. C.W. Park. 2003.
4. Lost In Translation. S. Coppola, 2003.
5. TLOTR: The Retunr of The King. P. Jackson, 2003.
6. Ciudad de Deus (City of God). F. Meirelles, 2002.
7. Donnie Darko. R. Kelly, 2001.
8. Le Fabeleux Destin D'Amélie Poulain. J.P. Jeunet, 2001.
9. Requiem for a Dream. D. Aronofsky, 2000.
10. Memento. C. Nolan, 2000.

Here is my version:

1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. M. Gondry, 2004.
2. The Royal Tenenbaums. W. Anderson, 2001.
3. Match Point. W. Allen, 2005.
4. Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2. Q. Tarantino, 2003-04. (I'm counting these as one, as far as I'm concerned it's the same story.)
5. Requiem for a Dream. D. Aronofsky, 2000.
6. Amores Perros. A. González Iñárritu, 2000.
6. Little Miss Sunshine. J. Dayton, V. Faris. 2006.
7. The Squid And The Whale. N. Baumbauch, 2005.
8. Thank you for smoking. J. Reitman, 2005.
9. Hable Con Ella. P. Almodóvar, 2002.
10. Wo hu cang long (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon). A. Lee. 2000.

It's not Ciudad, it's Cidade de Deus in Portuguese.
