Favourite films of the 00s?

espresso_addict: there is a list of top films 2000-2009 via an IMDB search for movies scoring over 7 on the IMDB with more than 10,000 votes during 2000-2009.
Of these, here are the ones I enjoyed most, and/or which left the deepest impression. Not a "best" list - there were several among the 300 or so IMDB results which I have watched and which I know to be artistically better than several on my list of favourites below - just the ones which remained with me the most, which I watched more than once, during the last decade. Oh, and a word about trilogies: I've only included one of each not because I liked the rest less (though in the case of the X-Men movies...), just for room.
Batman Begins (2005)
Billy Elliot (2000)
Blood Diamond (2006)
Bowling for Columbine (2002)
Capote (2005)
Casino Royale (2006)
Das Leben der Anderen (2006)
Der Untergang (2004)
Frida (2002)
Frost/Nixon (2008)
Hotel Rwanda (2004)
Iron Man (2008)
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)
Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004)
Kinsey (2004)
Letters from Iwo Jima (2006)
Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
Milk (2008)
Minority Report (2002)
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002)
Serenity (2005)
Star Trek (2009)
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)
The Aviator (2004)
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
The Prestige (2006)
The Queen (2006)
Transamerica (2005)
WALL·E (2008)
Whale Rider (2002)
X-Men (2000)
Footnote: the fact all the movies with a "The" were listed under "t" rather than under the first letter of the following noun was not my idea. Blame IMDB.
