"Fargo"  I had a cop friend tell me that it really shows the way things usually happen.  Most crimes are solved, not through brilliant police work, but because the criminals eventually do something dumb...

The first ones that come to mind for me are:

LA Confidential (I can't believe I'm the first one to mention it)
Heat
Hana-bi (AKA Fireworks)
Beverly Hills Cop
Hot Fuzz
Hard Boiled
Infernal Affairs (much better than its remake, The Departed)
The Naked Gun
Violent Cop

Die Hard (Willis is sly in number 4)
and Lethal Weapon.
I love the Danny Glover quote "I'm gettin too old for this $h@t!"

Well, My absolute favorite is "Bon Cop, Bad Cop"
It's a Canadian movie starring Colm Feore and Patrick Huard.  It I highly doubt any of you have heard of it, and I don't know how much you would enjoy it as it's in both English and French, so unless you have a basic knowledge of Quebec French you probably wouldn't get the whole movie.  It's also very typically Canadian in that it's all about hockey!!!

After that I'd have to say "Hot Fuzz"

Being French Canadian myself, I absolutely loved Bon Cop, Bad Cop

Like most of you, I too like the Lethal Wepon series, and the Die Hard franchise, however my all time favorite would have to be The Fugative with Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones.

Fargo was great but I lean toward Heat with DiNiro, Pacino and Pitt.

I forgot about that one! I'll have to watch it again, it was good
