I do recall American Beauty, but that may be more than 5 years ago.

In all earnest?
Certainly very near the top.
Yes.
The last movie I saw before that was "Funny Farm."
Oh I'm sorry, I forgot one movie I rented and a bunch of us watched at lunch time about 10 years ago. And this one was a great movie: "Genghis Blues." Check it out here! We had to watch this one after learning about Tuvan throat singing, which I heard about because I was on a binge of reading books about Richard Feynman. Check Feynman out also. Mori, I know you will love the Feynman stuff.
Just remembered Bendit like Beckam, Billy Elliott, and Kinky Boots.
Just saw Calendar Girls definitely not to be missed as it's a true story
I've seen a few good ones and a lot of bad ones in the last five years.
Adaptation and Team America are probably at the top for me.

After all these months I'm still fighting with the confusing header, "The Best Movie You've Seen In the Last 5 Years." Is that supposed to mean
A: "The best movie, regardless of when it was made, that you have seen during the last five years."
If so, why does it matter that you have seen that movie during the past five years?
B: " The best movie that has been released, and that you have actually seen during the past five years."
Also, in this context, is "best" based on personal preferences or critical acclaim, or on something else? I might give the topic some thought and even name a movie title if only I were to understand the intended meaning of the question!

Picking the "best" or rather "favorite" movie based on just nothing more than personal preferences is an impossible task without categorizing the movies in question. I presume the pool of eligible movies should be limited to major international releases?
The Departed
August Rush, not that I see that many movies.
Not the best but great movies recently watched are
1) The Prestige
2) No country for old men
3) Live free or Die Hard
4) American Gangster

Make an appointment with your optometrist.
