Since it appears that "Hollywood Homicide" has put another nail in the coffin of the buddy cop movie I thought it would be nice to reflect on some of the past entries in this once glorious sub-genre.

My favorites:

1) Lethal Weapon
2) Showdown in Little Tokyo
3) Lethal Weapon 2
4) The Hidden
5) Running Scared

I'm playing a bit fast and loose with the "buddy cop movie" definition for some of these, but anyway:

1. The Glimmer Man

2. 48 Hours (no messing with the classics)

3. The Enforcer (the interplay between the two leads is excellent, and it helps that back then Tyne Daly was the most gorgeous woman in the whole world)

4. Tiger on the Beat

5. Red Heat (not really a huge Arnold fan but the the movie's decent)

Beverly Hills Cop
Stone Cold (It's a guilty pleasure, sue me)
Rush Hour
Bad Boys
48 Hours

No lawsuit necessary for your inclusion of "Stone Cold." It's the movie that proves even Brian Bosworth can look cool when he's got Lance Henrickson and William Forsythe playing the bad guys. Lord knows he hasn't looked as capable since.

Tyne Daly was never the most gorgeous woman in the whole world. And her voice gave me rickets.

My list:

1. Lethal Weapon
2. 48 Hours
3. Running Scared
4. Alien Nation
5. Die Hard With A Vengeance

Yeah well your rickets must have been accompanied by blindness. And probably beri beri too.

Alien Nation is an excellent choice though...
