Best Film of the Decade (2000's)

It's early, I know, but I wanted to get a feel for what people are thinking is the best film, so far, this decade?

My choice is Wong Kar-Wai's...

In the Mood For Love

- cheers

Blue Crush

But when Charlie's Angels 2 comes out - all bets are off.

1) In the Mood for Love
2) The Royal Tenenbaums
3) Punch-Drunk Love
4) Dancer in the Dark
5) Mulholland Drive

The only one that I can be certain will be on the list by the end of the decade is In the Mood for Love. But there have been some great films so far.

Groucho, wendersfan (although you did give yours), grunter

Not only are you people thread-crapping (which I could report), you guys do not know how to read.

Go back to the first post and re-read. The poster is asking, SO FAR, what is, in your opinion, the best (basically your favorite) film from this decade. If you don't have a sensible answer, you really should not reply.

On topic, IN MY OPINION, the best:

Snatch. - my favorite film this decade

Runners-up:

Apocalypse Now Redux
Ghost World
About Schmidt
The Man Who Wasn't There
L.I.E.
Bully
Moulin Rouge

They are all excellent films.

Almost a year after this thread: Best Films of the 2000's (so far)

Good timing. I was going to revive that thread with my revisions. But, in order to get out of writing new blurbs, I'll just post my updated list here.
Alphabetically (can't pick just one):

Bamboozled
Eureka
George Washington
In the Mood for Love
In Praise of Love
Mysterious Object at Noon
Russian Ark
Waking Life
Werckmeister Harmonies
What Time is it There?


Bumped from last year's list:
Cecil B. Demented
Gosford Park
The Heart of the World
Vertical Ray of the Sun
