I was thinking about all the great movie threads we've had on this Forum, and I can't remember ever having one on Police Movies. (Of course, my memory is on the decline :D ).

I'll bet we could come up with quite a list.

One that I would like to see again is The New Centurians. IIRC, that one has a scene where two skells attempt to stick up a bar only to discover it's a cop bar. One of those "If only this could happen!" scenes.

Sharky's Machine !

Gotta love that one - Burt Reynolds, Charles Durning, Brian Keith, Earl Holliman, arch-villain Henry Silva, Dwayne (Dobie Gillis) Hickman, and ( drool) Rachel Ward !

Great cast, great weapons, good plot and just the right mix of action and wry humor.
 
Actually I think my favorite cop movie is L.A. Confidential.
 
Bullit is my all time favorite, while not quite a cop movie, The Usual Suspect is not bad as well.

I saw that when it came out about 27 years ago. Liked the scene where Rachel Ward asked for a hug and Reynolds replied, "I haven't got a thousand dollars."
 
What about all the Dirty Harry movies, The French Connection, The Seven Ups and an old one, Electra-glide in Blue.

Good one- great San Francisco chase seen, and clasic Alan Arkin.

Another good one set in San Fran, but not a comedy, is Walter Mathau in "The Laughing Policeman" (also featuring a young Bruce Dern and Louis Gossett Jr.!).

Speaking of Walter Matthau... "The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3" is a great cop movie. I'll be interested to see how good the remake is- it might have some potential to be pretty decent.
