Sort of sporatic, a few huge blockbusters and a few small movies. Most of my favorite movies from this decade have been character studies, or just plain violent movies (next would probably be Punch Drunk Love and the Kill Bills)

1. Lost in Translation (2003/S.Coppola)
2. Sideways (2004/Payne)
3. Traffic (2000/Soderbergh)
4. Collateral (2004/Mann)
5. Match Point (2005/Allen)
6. Batman Begins (2005/Nolan)
7. Elephant (2003/Van Sant)
