2010: True Grit? I guess crime movies like A Prophet and Animal Kingdom count too. Also, Red Cliff - the director's cut.
2009: The Hurt Locker , Inglorious Basterds, District 9
2008: Iron Man, The Dark Knight (I guess)
2007: No Country for Old Men only comes to mind. American Gangster if we're counting crime films; I have a soft spot for it.

That is a great list. So many action movies come out that just plain suck (eg Expendables, Green Lantern) it is hard to discern sometimes which will be the diamonds in the rough. For some reason True Grit is not something I have seen even though I hear good things. I guess it is because the lady doesn't like it. Although she loved Inglorious Bastards, as did I, so now do I re-watch that or True Grit. Hmm.
