Maybe you can try recalling what year it came out while you're at it.
Zodiac is an excellent film that would have made my top 50 of the decade. I rewatched it in the last couple years and it played even better on the repeat viewing.
On another note, I was thinking about how A.I., Minority Report, and Munich didn't make the list. Sure I didn't vote for them but a couple would make a top 100 These are all very good to great movies. All better than Catch Me If You Can.
Then I looked at the old Millennium list and none of them made that one either so guess it's just par for the course. Maybe 00s Spielberg has a lot of competition from 70s, 80s, and 90s Spielbergs.
Also no A History of Violence or Eastern Promises. I thought at least the former was guaranteed. Any other surprises or snubs?

Everything on my list that didn't appear was snubbed imo 
Wasn't on my list so I have to be more disappointed than surprised about Mary And Max not showing.

Damn, I totally forgot about A History of Violence even though I definitely rewatched it at some point in the past year and found it to be very good. That being said, I'm not exactly surprised that it didn't show up here.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Director
Peter Jackson, 2003
Starring
Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Liv Tyler, Viggo Mortensen
With that many endings, you know it's gotta be ROTK.
Wonder now if it's Return of the King

Obviously seen ROTK, but no vote from me.
That said, I love it. Like I said after The Two Towers popped up, I love all three films. I think they're not only a remarkable achievement in cinema, but extremely well made and entertaining films. I also think this is the film where both Elijah Wood and Sean Astin get a chance to truly shine in their performances.
My very minor nitpick with this one is that it goes on for a bit too long; even if I'm not sure what "ending" I would've cut, I feel like they could've find a way to work around that. Still, I find the bit with Aragorn and the hobbits, and the bit where Frodo sails off to be wonderfully moving.
Finally, the film is notable for giving me one of the best theater experiences I've had. I'm sure I've shared this before, at least on RT/Corrie, but the bit where...
It was a great moment, and it's a scene that still gives me goosebumps when I see it! But as much as I love this, my LOTR vote went to *the other one* so that's how it is.
The road to the finish line continues...
Seen: 76/93

WARNING: spoilers below
Eowyn reveals herself to the Witch King and kills him got the most enthusiastic reaction I've seen from a crowd ever.
As cliché as it might sound, everybody stood up, cheered, clapped, and hollered.

As good as it is, I decided to only vote for one LOTR film (which should be obvious by now). I would consider this a close second, at least. Now I've got to get around to watching the extended edition.

This is the last of the trilogy, right? If so, this is the one that I haven’t seen and I aim to keep it that way.
