Ab/core specific: Russian twists, roll-outs (can do it with a barbell if you don't have a roller), reverse crunches on swiss ball
Ultimately any exercise will properly work the abs as long as you keep them engaged. Full body exercises like deadlifts (if you learn them properly) will strengthen your entire core better than anything.
