Nice list :) I have a terrible memory so cannot even come close to giving an accurate account of what I've seen this year :P "Quite a few" is the best I can do, really. The Incredibles is the most obvious current "must see", but you knew that anyway ;)
I also have a desire to see "Blade Trinity" - I liked the first two and the third is more of the same I'm told, so should easily satisfy my desire for a good popcorn movie. Along those lines, the new Nicolas Cage one (Treasure Hunter? or something similar) seems to be an amalgam of Indiana Jones, the Mummy, and a hint of [soon to be a film] The Da Vinci Code and thus will be perfect for my annual trip to the local multiplex back near home in Manchester this Christmas ;)
It's actually hard to think of recommendations for you that you haven't already seen! I'd say you might find "Ju On" interesting - it's the Japanese original of "The Grudge" (the Sarah Michelle Gellar horror flick.) I haven't seen the American re-make yet, but the original is extremely creepy. :)
Notable duds? The Ladykillers with Tom Hanks was pretty bad. Hanks even mentioned in an interview that he didn't watch the original before doing this film, which tells you everything you need to know about the rest of it. Intolerable Cruelty, that you have in your list, was the better Coen Brothers film :)
Oh yes, I caught "Daredevil" on Sky Movies this year, too. It gets a kicking for being a dull popcorn movie - a cardinal sin :P
