People need buddies, and movies, apparently, need cops. Pair those two truths together, and we've got one of the greatest film tropes that ever was. Which brings us to our picks for the 10 best buddy cop movies of all time.
To figure out the components to create the coolest cop buddies, we've got to sift through everything that makes a buddy cop movie work. It's not just two police officers who get the bad guys. It's a two-person team, two halves that make a perfect hole, a yin and a yang. We're going to inspect and dissect exactly what traits are needed to make the perfect duo, and finally settle on what the greatest buddy cop movie of all time is.
The Picks:
10 - Lethal Weapon (1987) dir. Richard Donner
9 - Freebie and the Bean (1974) dir. Richard Rush
8 - Memories of Murder (2003) dir. Bong Joon-ho
7 - Last Action Hero (1993) dir. John McTiernan
6 - 48 Hrs. (1982) dir. Walter Hill
5 - Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) dir. Robert Zemeckis
4 - Turner & Hooch (1989) dir. Roger Spottiswoode
3 - Hot Fuzz (2007) dir. Edgar Wright
2 - Pure Luck (1991) dir. Nadia Tass
1 - Bad Boys (1995) dir. Michael Bay
