 Okay, so besides the usual cop movies like serpico which we already know is great, what is your favorite cop movie and why

 This will seem funny cause it did to me, I actually LOVE the movie copland with stallone and VERY many other talented actors and actresses

This movie is about  a small town cop but all the big city cops live there thats why they call it copland. In the city a shooting occurs of two black kids, the white cop off duty shots and kills them in what appears to be self defense, then when no one is looking the white off duty cop disappears, seemingly jumped off the bridge to his death , or did he  and what secrets lie in cop land !

The Departed.

Why? Because it absolutely blew me away. I had NOT wanted to see it (Not liking DiCaprio and ify on Matt Damon). Someone convinced me to watch the DVD and I was entranced.

To me a movie is good when it's not predictable. Taken was EXTREMELY predictable. I could call out the way the movie would play out in my head before it happened.

The Departed was NOT predictable. Everytime I thought I had the movie pegged, I was wrong (doesn't happen often *snicker*).

While I don't like DiCaprio and I'm so-so on Damon, I thought they both did fantastic in this movie

I loved the departed also, I like leo ever since whats eating gilbert grape but cannot stand damon. I felt the movie had waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much cussing but I still liked it !

thanks

I know you said favorite... and I gave you my favorite.. LOL but my 2nd favorite is "We Own The Night" with Joaquin Pheonix and Mark Whalberg ( I sometimes like Mark Whalberg and sometimes not - depends on the movie/ role). I also don't like Pheonix. The ONLY other movie I thought he was perfect for was Walk The Line.

But again, here is another movie where I wasn't happy with the cast and came away completely surprised. Again, it was another movie I never intended to see and then was surprised. This one was a little more scripted/predictable. But I thought it was well done.

Ok.. i seriously gotta get back to work. LOL Ya'll pulled out my favorite topic today LOL so now I'm distracted (movies)

well ill be back tonight,lol be good

Red Heat. Not too intense, moderately predictable. But the main characters play off each other well, the humor and drama are well balanced, it has a great chase scene, and it's Arnie while he was still chiseled.

Best line "Time to feed paraket."

The watch is a character, BTW, start to finish.

I liked Copland. Enjoyed most of the Dirty Harry series. ElectraGlide in Blue with Blake is a must see classic. Heat is a great flick. Unlawful Entry is a disturbing story of a pyscho cop. And then there's the quintessential law enforcement movie, the first RoboCop. ;)

my absolute favorite has to be the original lethal weapon. the others were a little thinned out for me i did like the last one though not as much as the first. second favorite DIehard the original. was hard to pick between the 2 but gibson was just fantastic in lethal weapon. Bruce still awesome though.

rebel I LOVE unlawful entry, kept me guessing !

Blue Thunder...how bout them apples. Not really a cop movie, but close enough.
