Wow. No offense, as I'm sure you've heard this a lot on CP, but that is one blasphemous list. I don't think a single one of those is in my top 10. Maybe, maybe TDK gets an honorable mention.
I do like that you made sure to put favorite. It drives me insane when people confuse best with favorite.
OK, off the top of my head, in NO particular order, yet:
There Will Be Blood: Best acted movie of the decade.
American Psycho: Bale at his best. Great interpretation of the novel IMO.
Last Samurai: I hate Tom Cruise but this movie was almost as good as Gladiator, speaking of which...
Gladiator: the roman epic returns in this amazing best picture winner. The first 15 minutes is among the best action scenes of all time.
Syriana: Clooney was amazing, so was Damon. This movie was confusing but great.
Lord of War: I don't know why I loved this movie so much but I did.
Bad Santa: Easily the best comedy of the last 10 years. None of the Apatow movies come close.
Snatch: Guy Ritchie's writing is at least as quirky and interesting as any Tarantino movie since Pulp Fiction.
Sin City: One of the best comic adaptations ever.
Donnie Darko: If you haven't see it go do so right now.
A Beautiful Mind: A little slow at times but just a great movie about redemption, frustration and being completely bats*** insane.
The Two Towers: I wanted to put all three LOTR movies but I didn't really like the 3rd one. I guess the first one was pretty damn good too but just like the "other" trilogy, this one's strongest movie was II.
I think that is like 12, and I probably forgot a few but after REALLY quickly browsing my movie collection that is what I came up with.
