Whats your favourite Cop Movies.

Dirty Harry was always my go to until I first saw To Live and Die in L.A god damn instantly became one of my favourite films ever the setting the story the acting the soundtrack all blew me away amazing film my only complaint was the quit awkward erect penis scene that went on for quite some time

I'm not too familiar with alot of European cop films but I'm sure I'll learn more here.

You can never go wrong with a bit of Dirty Harry these days, it still a classic, I stuck on the first one the other day with my horror buddy Annmarie and she enjoyed it and Lethal Weapon.

I went through one of my books that i write down what I have watched, Almost Human is a good one with Henry Silva playing a good guy for a change.Young, Violent and Dangerous is a decent cop thriller along with The Heroin Busters and Syndicate Sadists for your Italian crime thrillers.

For a good American cop thriller check out Cop from 1988 with James Woods in the lead and 1997 Copland, great star cast in that.

I always found Copland to be a very underrated film I thought Stallone was great in it. I have Almost Human just never got around to watching it.

It's the slower pace I think that didn't suit some people I don't think it's a typical Tarantino film

That's because it isn't a Tarantino film. It was directed by James Mangold.

You see the name Stallone and think it be a straight up action flick but he does put in his acting performance and shows he can be more than a action star.

Why did I always think it was a Tarantino film.

I can't defend that

I would think my favourite cop movie is LA Confidential closely followed by Dirty Harry.

Se7en and Heat also deserve special mention.

Live and Let Die it's amazing, can we talk about ex-cops/undercover cops?

Deep Cover with Laurence Fishburne, Jeff Goldblum watched last year was quiet good.

If you go into the Korean movies, Chugyeokja (aka The Chaser) it's worth your time - It's an ex-cop but can still count

Italian's I agree with Mr. Barlow - Almost Human is an good example, Milano calibro 9 it's more gangster than cop's I think.
