Best movies of this bunch? Probably a toss up between Coraline and District 9. Both big surprises. Inglorious Basterds would be next. I gotta say, I was surprised by I Love You, Man and The Hangover. They won't change the world but you'll laugh (as long as you see it with other people). The other recommendation would be John Adams. Another great HBO series. It lagged at times (it covers fifty years in the life of a politician so of course it lagged at times) but in general it certainly brought those historical characters to life without too many "and this is the moment when he did A, B, C, and D". In that sense it avoided feeling like a bio-pic, probably because it was a seven-part mini-series.

I almost forgot Gomorrah, a small film about organized crime in Napoli. Makes the Sopranos look like school yard bullies, compared to the initiation carried out in so matter-of-factly in this film.
