Well there have always been the standards.

Dumbbell Shoulder Press.

Side Raises.

Bent Over Side Raises

Side Raises lying face down on an inclined bench

Front Raises

Front Raises with Barbell

Also you can do one where lie sideways on a Bench, and do some kind of Raise motion which I think also stimulates the Rotator Cuff, as well as one or more of the 3 delts.

You also have Cable Raises, where you use something like a Tricep Machine or Crossover Machine, working one Shoulder at a time.

I personally like this exercise for the shoulders:

You really have to keep the elbows flared out and elevated though. Don't let them drop to your sides.
