00s - A Trip to the Moon (Runner up - The Great Train Robbery)
10s - The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Runner up - Birth of a Nation)
20s - Nosferatu (Runner up - Metropolis)
30s - M (Runner up - The Public Enemy)
40s - Bicycle Thieves (Runner up - Double Indemnity)
50s - Seven Samurai (Runner up - Rififi)

80s - The Thing (Runner up - Back to the Future)
90s - Fight Club (Runner up - Fargo)
00s - Memento (Runner up - Children of Men)
Not very unique, I know. It's hard reduce an entire decade to a single movie (which is why I added the runner ups).

Well, off the top of my head (runner ups are second)
20's - Metropolis / Nosferatu
30's - M / The Lady Vanishes
40's - Double Indemnity / Shadow of a Doubt
50's - North By Northwest / Ace In The Hole
60's - Night of the Living Dead / Dr. Strangelove
70's - Dawn of the Dead / Suspiria
80's - Evil Dead II / Blade Runner
90's - Glengarry Glen Ross / Ed Wood
00's - Shaun Of The Dead / City of God
So many things that were so hard to leave off...I think this is just about correct though.
