It's hard to argue that The Departed isn't the best movie of the decade.

Movies like Superbad are just cheap thrills and a few laughs. They dont innitiate a emotional response.
I agree that they are cheap thrills, but I cried from laughing so hard.....so fooey on the no emotion part!!:D

I thought Superbad was awful. Just a bunch of sex jokes the whole time and I hate Micheal Cera who may be one of the worst actors ever.

Anyways, it's hard to narrow it down to just 5 but in no particular order:

Gladiator
The Departed
The Wrestler
Lord of the Rings (All 3)
Gran Torino

If I thought longer I may change this but too many movies to remember.

Gran Torino

There was no year 0, decades are 1-10. Just because pop culture wanted to view Y2K as the end of the century doesn't mean it's true.

If I had to make a list of the first 9 years of the decade

The Departed
Royal Tennenbaums
Gran Torino
Dark Knight
Anchorman

Hon Mentions:
Last King of Scotland
Juno
No Country for Old Men
LOTR Trillogy
National Treasure

If I could include 2000 it'd surely list Gladiator and Remember the Titans
