My top 5:
The Prestige- Vivid period styling, great cast (David Bowie as Nikola Tesla in particular), and the 'NO WAY HOW DID I NOT FIGURE THAT OUT' ending.
The Dark Knight- Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker is Oscar-worthy, especially the 'why so serious' monologue. The visuals are stunning and it's just so wonderfully dark.
Inception- How Nolan managed to get Hollywood to invest in something this clever and complex when Transformers and the Twilight saga make so much money is beyond me. Cleverest film of the last decade.
Pirates of the Caribbean- Curse of the Black Pearl- Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow is a great character, and the original POTC is by far the best. Brilliant dialogue, and from before Elizabeth Swann and Will Turner got really, really annoying.
Moon- An independent film which proves that you don't need a huge budget to make a great film, so long as you have a good idea.
