Outstanding List! I would only add to it, and make the top twenty-five with all combined:
21. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
22. Mullholand Drive
23. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
24. Requiem for a Dream
25. Milk
Also, these films aren't quite up to making the list, but the performances by the indicated actresses are in the top twenty-five acting performances of the decade:
"Transamerica" - Felicity Huffman
"Away From Her" - Julie Christie
"Monster" - Charlize Theron
"La Vie En Rose" - Marion Cottiard
"Notes from a Scandal" - both Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett

People need to READ CAREFULLY. You have cited audience picks according to gross receipts, and then your own opinion in film of choice for that year. I agree with many of your picks, and some that I would not choose for my list (along with others I'd add). An opinion is just that, an opinion based on your thought. People need to accept that and realize we are not in a policed-state with a popularity for book and movie burning. Kudos to you for your list, and may those that want to bicker put the films they don't like tightly placed where the sun doesn't shine...Happy New Year!
