Excellent list, and I can honestly say I have seen every single one on it. My own top 50 only contains 7 of yours, but I might be more of an elitist snob. My #1 is In The Mood For Love, I just prefer the simplicity of it compared to 2046 which can sometimes drag unless you're completely devoted to it.
The 7 you have that made my list:
2046 (#14 on mine)
Before Sunset (#6 on mine)
The New World (#7 on mine)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (#2 on mine)
In The Mood For Love (#1 on mine)
There Will Be Blood (#16 on mine)
Memento (#31 on mine)
I don't have my posted on Listology, but it is on Flixster - not sure if this link will work:
I recommend 'In the Mood For Love' as the top film of the decade, and only film I would give a 10/10 to. However, Wong Kar-Wai is not everyone's cup of tea, and I would recommend seeing Chungking Express (1994) or even the sequel to 'Mood' , '2046' before taking on his masterpiece - In The Mood For Love.
Hey Sturm, I finally found you on here. I would bump up Pulp Fiction and Eternal Sunshine if I were you, I like those 2 the most, but Clockwork and Terminator and to a lessor extent I hold City of God in high regard. Anyway, you should see my 25 of each year lists to see all the films no one has ever heard of that I think are excellent

Hi There,
I just wanted to list 3 performances that are glaringly missing from your list:
1. Tony Leung Chui Wai - Chow Wo-man - In The Mood For Love (2000)
2. Olivier Gourmet - Olivier - The Son (2002)
3. Joseph Gordon Levitt - Mysterious Skin (2004)

Ok list, but I would include District B13 as one of the top action films of the 00s.
Also, you have as a runner up The Departed, but you do not include the movie that it was a remake of:
Infernal Affairs (d. by Wai-Keung Lau and Sui Fai Mak, 2002)
which was a far superior film to that Scorsese piece of trash - imo
You are totally missing from this list:
The Descent (d. by Neil Marshall, 2005)
