As the title says, I want to know your top 2 favourite police movies.

Also I would like to know your top 2 TV cop shows of all time.

No more than 2 choices in each category.

I will start of with my top 2 police movies are Seven, and In the heat of the night.

In the heat of the night: (not to be confused with the TV show of the same name) Staring Sidney Poitier and Rod Stieger. Set in the Early 1960's in a fictional Mississippi town a black man is accused of the murder of a rich white man on the slimest of evidence.

Sidney Poitier gets involved and is this towns police departments worst nightmare... A black man with a badge ! Can the town and police department survive such a thing ?

I really recomend this film if you haven't seen it, it's a cult classic. It won a bunch of awards at the time.

Seven: Staring Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt as detectives,filmed in a way that shows the city as threatening, seedy and depressing. (it's always raining)

Kevin Spacey puts in an amazing performance of a disturbed, but self diciplined serial killer who has a single minded mission to point out and punish the Sins of society and the evil ways we live. He is in effect preeching.

My two best all time cop TV shows have to be Kojak and the Sweeny. Very differnet shows but I guess I just grew up with these shows. Also it was a time when TV didn't shy away from violence :)

So what are your top 2 cop films and tv shows ?

Edited January 29, 201214 yr by Molten

1.SWAT

2.Die Hard 4.0

The Naked Gun series is pretty awesome.

1. The first three police academy films (the rest are terrible)

2. Super Troopers (low budget but F**king hilarious)

2. Super Troopers (low budget but F**king hilarious)

I agree with Sam. the Naked Gun was hilarious!

And Super Troopers was also epic! ^^

Last time I saw: ''The Fugitive''. Good action movie! It inspired my making a CPD Caprice. ^^

The series 'Southland' (Promotionally SouthLAnd).

It has episodes, which you can watch every week.

If you cannot look at them (GMT's etc), why not go download a few torrents?

And the torrent is not illegal, because it can be downloaded legally, so I guess. (NO links though)

Super Troopers:

and SWAT:

They're the only 2 I can think of right meow. (See what I did there?)

TV show wise I like Adam-12 (a 1968 TV show of the LAPD based on real events, it's pretty cool) and well, you know... COPS.

I really liked The Departed, and all the Christmas (read Die Hard) films, and SWAT of course.

We own the night, NYPD.

Training Day, LAPD.

For 1 adam 12 being 44 years old, it is one of the most realistic police tv shows, even more so then COPS.

Training Day, LAPD.

Excellent Movie, that would have been my third choice :)

My favourite film would have to be the Die Hard series. Also, I like Cop Out, It's not really a realistic crime film, but more of a comedy.

Not really a film, and instead of creating a new topic, this is on MTV tonight.. looks pretty good:

Yes, it's a police film, Mock-documentary following the "Undead Taskforce"
