The two from 2008 that I saw and thought were notable were:

"007 Quantum of Solace"

-- as far as James Bond films go, I prefer Sean Connery; I I thought this was a good action flick.

"Hancock"

-- Will Smith always entertains. An interesting approach to a super hero movie.

If you are looking for some suggestions that are prior to 2008:

"Big Fish"

-- This is one of my all-time favorites.

"Hero"

-- This too is one of my all-time favorites.

If you are looking from some good classic movies you can't go wrong with an Alfred Hitchcock film or a Humphrey Bogart/Lauren Bacall flick.
