Unforgiven won Best Picture in 1992. Amazing movie, but doesn't qualify for this list.

Braveheart is good, but not as great as the others on the list. I'd replace it with Unforgiven.

Anyone seen I Heart Huckabees? I enjoyed it, might make my list... but I have an aversion to making lists like this. I'm an undecisive kind of guy.

I apologize to no one. I like what I like:

Honey
She's all that
the second Matrix (forget which one, but it's for Monica and the twins)
Mulholland Drive
Mallrats/Dogma (Claire Forlanit+Shannen Doherty vs. Salma Hayek as a stripper)

Many, many good movies mentioned. Two not mentioned that are at least in my top ten:

I've seen this movie too. One scene I have a problem with is when Ed Norton tells the black guy to lay down on the curb. Wtf did the guy think he was gonna do? I would have made him shoot me before I would have laid down. An ugly scene. But this is a common movie theme where one of the characters threatens another with a gun and they submit even though taking a bullet would be a much better fate then what awaits them. No biggy

heavily bodied

I couldn't choose just five....here's fifteen of my favorites from the past fifteen years, in no particular order...
...except the first one - the Three Colors trilogy is the beast piece of filmmaking I've ever seen. If you've never seen any Kieslowski, search him out - "The Double Life of Veronique" and "The Decalogue" are also brilliant.

Trois Coleurs (Blue, White and Red), Krystof Kieslowski
Memento, Christopher Nolan
Pulp Fiction, Quentin Tarantino
Mulholland Drive, David Lynch
The Thin Red Line, Terence Malik
Sex and Lucia, Julio Medem
Amelie, Jean-Pierre Jeunet
The Lord of the Rings (Peter Jackson)
The Limey, Steven Soderburgh
Hero (some Chinese dude)
The Sixth Sense (M. Night S.)
Exotica (Atom Egoyan)
Dead Man Walking (Tim Robbins)
The Piano ((Jane Campoin)
Queen Margot (Patrice Chereau)
