agent 47 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Finally got an idea for the new favorite film threads, crime films were already covered but what about cops in general? Regular cop films, FBI based films, cop film parodies, what are your favorites? Used to, I used to post my faves first, but I decided to let anyone who wants to post go first. Note:this is a public opinion thread, If you've felt that I was doing something forceful in the past, remember, this isn't mandatory, just for people to post about cop films if they want.

Administrators timm525 Posted February 19, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I always liked "Point Break" and "Silence of the Lambs" for the FBI part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agent 47 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 After seeing Dead-Bang today,I would put that on my favorite cop films list, along with, of course, Dirty Harry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Pierson Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Pardon me if this has been discussed somewhere here before....I am new here: What about the role that our dear Larry Zito played in the series "The Shield?"When I watched the part he played in that series....I felt like someone had stabbed me in the heart!!!!! It was awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Vercetti Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 ha. you got that right pal. Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach is the best.The only reason I ever watched any of those terrible movies was Leslie Easterbrook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agent 47 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Michael Mann has released a lot of good cop dramas, such as Manhunter and Heat, even though people may not agree with me but the Miami Vice movie was allright, even though the romantic parts between Crockett and Gong-Li hurt the film, so does the poorly written characters, but it's great for it's documentary First 48 esque feel.Heat was great because it was the first film to really have realistic cops (besides The Naked City back in the 40's) and Manhunter is one of the best suspense films of all time, although not well known to non-Mann fans. (I have it on video along with Heat, though.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
