There are a multitude of excellent police-related movies out there.

 

I'd have to recommend "The Seven Ups (1973)", "The French Connection (1971)", as well as "Fort Apache: The Bronx (1981)".  Note that the Police Academy movies (1980s) are worth checking out too.

Cop out :D

Technically a police movie, Lock Up is a pretty damn good film.

 

"Frank Leone (Sylvester Stallone) is nearing the end of his prison term for a relatively minor crime. Just before he is paroled, however, Warden Drumgoole takes charge. Drumgoole was assigned to a hell-hole prison after his administration was publicly humiliated by Leone, and has now arrived on the scene to ensure that Leone never sees the light of day."

 

Others are:

 

Copland (1997) - The sheriff of a suburban New Jersey community populated by New York City policemen slowly discovers the town is a front for mob connections and corruption.

 

Hot Fuzz (2007) - Jealous colleagues conspire to get a top London cop transferred to a small town and paired with a witless new partner. On the beat, the pair stumble upon a series of suspicious accidents and events.

 

 

Robocop.

You guys are forgetting Training Day!

Just recently there was End of Watch. It was a damn good film.

man these all sound good but probaly my fav of all times are, bevaly hills all of them. and police academy all of them!!

Colors - is a real good old cop movie

I actually work at a movie store and a customer asked about cop movies. I'm making a list next time I work. 

 

Hot Fuzz and End Of Watch are great. Hot Fuzz is Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Can't go wrong with those two. End of Watch is a great cop drama. One of my favorite movies of 2013.

 

I know these aren't necessarily cop movies, but they have great chases:

Gone In 60 Seconds (Original film from the 70s. It's got a 60 minute chase)

Smokey and the Bandit

Adam-12 TV show , & The Andy Griffet show

Why hasn't anyone mentioned The Naked Gun movies, or Police Squad?

Funniest stuff ever!

For future reference, please don't bump old topics. However since the topic has sprung back to life, let's leave it open. 

 

I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned but the Dirty Harry movie series (1971-1988) is very good.

Badge 373 [1973] and Across 110th Street [1972] aren't bad either.  My personal favorite film, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three [1974], is a must though!

Classic movies, eh? Might as well throw in another good movie. Fort Apache, The Bronx. Definitely a nice movie about the corruption that thrived in the NYPD during the late 1970s and early 80s. 

No one's gonna say Serpico (1973) with Al Pacino?

 

I liked Colors (1988) too, with al the LAPD and gangs stuff.

 

The taking of Pelham 123, the original from 1974, is pretty good too.

 

Heat (1995), Al Pacino playing as a police detective vs. De Niro, as a bank robber. Just because its epic shootout scene is worth watching.

 

Die Hard movies (1, 2 and 3): just epic.

 

And who could forget about the Lethal Weapon movies? (1987-1998)

Renegade force (1998)
