Because it was weird, didn't make sense and had lesbian love scenes?

A lot of the film's I would pick have been mentioned, the only one I haven't seen in this thread is Moon, which I loved.

I loved The Elephant Man. You don't need to like everything a person does.

I know what he was trying to do. I just don't think it works or at least not to my liking. I just have certain expectations from films that's all. But then again, some of my overall favourite films are from the 30s and 40s so it could just be a matter of style and substance.
Also, it's been literally years, probably a good 5 years since I saw the film so I'm forgetting a lot of it. I just know I didn't like it because it didn't work for me.

It was non-linear I'll give you that, but it was no Inland empire!

Batman Begins, bar none.
Good action, actual character development, decent special effects--but most important of all, that movie had an actual story to it, and told it right.

What's that? You say you liked New Moon? Me too!
If it doesn't win all of the oscars this year I will be thoroughly disappointed.

fair enough if you dont want to bother with it because you dont like it.
i was just arguing with your original statement that it's nonsensical gibberish with lesbian sex scenes.
Children of Men was easily the best movie of the decade.
But City of God was great too. I liked the LOTR trilogy, but I would not call them the best movies of the decade. Other notables for me included: Blood Diamond, Into the Wild, Gran Torino, Gladiator, No Country for Old Men, Letters from Iwo Jima.
And for stupid comedies that had no movie making skills: The Hangover, Anchorman, Talledega Nights, The 40 Year-Old Virgin, Pineapple Express, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Ziggy Stardust

Finding Nemo or Monsters Inc best animated.
V for Vendetta best movie.
And The Dark night was really just a good action movie, Heath Ledger just played a decent Joker. I was bitterly disappointed walking out of the cinema because my expectations had been raised so high by orgasmic reviews it ruined the movie. Without it, I would have simply enjoyed a very entertaining movie.

Decade isn't over yet (ends Dec 31st, 11.59 PM), but well, there are some contenders...
LOTR (best fantasy movie ever, hands down)
very subjective: Black Hawk Down (got better every time I saw it)
Master and Commander (most realistic Napoleonic age movie)

Am I the only who's noticed that this thread largely seems to consist of "The movies you like are stupid. You must stupid. My favourite movies are better, stupid." 
Personally, I have absolutely no idea which movie was "best", because I spent most of the decade as an adolescent of poor taste, and so have yet to see much of the decade's most worthy output.
I liked The Lord of the Rings the most, though, and it's certainly not the best movie of the decade that I've seen. It's just that there are certain films which, when viewed as a thirteen year old, make a lasting impression on you.

. Ralph Bakshi's cartoon version wasn't up to the topic...I agree about the cave troll, but where my jaw REALLY dropped was with the Balrog on the bridge. That was awesome...
Edit: For you jaded CGI-kids I have to explain something: the awe I felt at LOTR was not so much at the scenes themself, but how close he mostly came to what my imagination had always pictured from the books. The scene on the bridge was EXACTLY as I had envisioned it myself.
