The correct answer is 2008. Aside from the Dark Knight, we also have the funniest Will Ferrell movie (Step Brothers), a generational stoner comedy (Pineapple Express), Iron Man (released early May, but ‘tevs), a generational female-focused TV show film (Sex and the City), a genuinely scary “isolated in a foreign place” film (The Strangers), and a bunch of big stars making idiots of themselves (Tropic Thunder).
