It's hard to really judge because because it probably depends on when you first saw those films. Star Trek II and Poltergeist, for instance, haven't aged particularly well. 2008 was also pretty decent.
For films that became instant classics or big blockbusters you had:
The Dark Knight
Iron Man
Wall-E
Tropic Thunder
Then you had films that were blockbuster successes but weren't necessarily good films such as Indiana Jones, Hancock, Hellboy 2, and The Incredible Hulk.
And then some movies that became more comedy or action cult favourites in Wanted, Hamlet 2, Pineapple Express, Step Brothers, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
EDIT: Didn't see the action/sci-fi caveat in your second post.
