For a change thou speaketh my language ! 
Ghajini wasn’t all that bad man.. and from what i have read, i take it you havent seen the tamil movie? And i think you have a fair idea of how crazily fanatical i become when you mention the words “Christopher Nolan”… so you will probably be surprised that I do not for one moment think that Ghajini (tamil/hindi) is not a blatant ripoff of Memento. Taking the tattoos/polaroid photos concept out of Memento and making a pretty original, albeit extremely cliched (i must admit) story around it , doesnt quite make it a ripoff man 
. (my two cents )
The Dark Knight !!!! again… Christopher Nolan… (Ok.. i’ll refrain from fanaticism ).
Slumdog Millionaire – The sequence where the kids are chased across the slums by hapless police constables, with O.. Saya by Rahman in the background in all its glory… that sequence alone is worth the price of admission and a whole lot more for me.. .
I cannot help but put my list in here as well.. so hopefully you will not begrudge this spamming of your comments column .
Worst I’ve seen in 2008:
a) Drona
b) Righteous Kill (what a darn disappointment)
c) Bachna Ae Haseeno
d) Tashan ! (Oh my Gawdddd !!!)
e) Kidnap
Best
a) THE DARK KNIGHT ! hands downnn
b) Cloverfield
c) Speed Racer (This is the future of filmmaking.. mark my words… this movie will be considered a trendsetter/cult classic in the years to come)
d) Pineapple Express
e) A Wednesday/Welcome to Sajjanpur/Oye Lucky Lucky Oye/Sarkar Raj (the twist at the end mannnn.. RGV for all his idiosyncracies, can sure make a phenomenally compelling movie if he chooses to)
I havent seen Mithya yet.. but its definitely in my must watch list
