I'm really happy seeing Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and House of Flying Daggers in people's list. Those two movies probably had some of the best cinematography in them and pure art in every scene.

Memento - 2000
State and Main - 2000
Blinkende lygter (Flickering Lights) - 2000
Gosford Park - 2001
Shrek - 2001
Lord of the rings trilogy - 2001/02/03
Adaptation - 2002
Ice Age - 2002/06
Finding Nemo - 2003
Big fish - 2003
Elephant - 2003
De grřnne Slagtere (The Green Butchers) - 2003
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - 2004
Adams Ćbler (Adams Apples) - 2005
Das leben der Anderen (the lives of others) - 2006
Pans Labyrinth - 2006
No Country for Old Men - 2007
He was a quiet man - 2007
Up - 2009
