I heard a list of best buddy cop movies and it got me thinking of mine.

1. Lethal Weapon Franchise
2. 48 Hours/Another 48 Hours
3. Bad Boys
4. MIB
5. Rush Hour

I think these would be my top 5. Feel free to list your top 5 or continue on.

I am biased as I have a Hooch smile But I would say K9 would count, as the dog was a police dog. Hooch would not, as he was just a dead guys dog smile

I'd forgotten about "LA Confidential" and "Seven". Those are really good ones.

I don't consider 7 a buddy cop.

That's more of just a thriller/mystery/suspense. Buddy cops are more comedy/action in my opinion. a Movie that dark shouldn't have the word buddy associated with it lol.

For me, Rush Hour is #1 and it isn't even close. Jackie Chan is a martial arts/comedy legend. Chris Tucker is hysterical in those movies, and the chemistry between the two is perfect.

I never seen colors, I would include Police Academy because buddy cop movies are a cop and his partner, whilst that is about an entire group of officers.

I do however, love those movies.

Yeah, I love Rush Hour, I would actually put them at 4 on my list and move them above MIB.

I know it doesn't belong in the Beverly Hills Cop or Lethal Weapon category, but it was a pretty funny flick.

Ice Cube and Kevin Hart did a pretty good job in Ride Along.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

I like it a lot. Central Intelligence was another one Hart did with the Rock that was pretty good.

It's already been mentioned, but 48 Hours in a fave of mine in the genre.

I'd go with Lethal Weapon overall... I thought the second was better than the first and after that, I didn't care. I can't even remember if they even made a lethal weapon 3.

WHAT?! Lethal Weapon 3 and 4 were the funniest of the franchise! Joe Pesci was absolutely phenomenal in those two.

I just saw this topic on a podcast ... but they did TV shows. Andy and Barney made their #1 smile
