Pop Art of the Decade

Recently my friend invited me to contribute my Top Ten films, songs, books, albums, etc. to a list he was circulating. The task proved more difficult than I had initially imagined. For starters, I don't read very much in the way of contemporary fiction/non-fiction. And, for example, in my haste to come up with something, I forgot that The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is one of my favorite films of all time, never mind the decade.

What would make your list?
