Since Cop Out comes out this week and it looks pretty good, I started thinking about some of the movies it will eventually get compared to. No, Im not talking about just comedies or Kevin Smith movies Im talking Buddy Cop Movies. You know the kind, where two cops with very different personalities work together to solve a case, and in doing so become good friends. I know what youre thinking: Its been done before. You're right! With that in mind, I compiled a list of my favorites.
Note: This is a list of my favorites and is far from definitive. I miss some of your favorites? Let me know in the comments!
10) Starsky & Hutch
Say what you want about this movie, based on the classic TV show, but they got the buddy cop formula right with the casting of Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson. Granted, that's about all they got right, but every list of buddy cop movies has to start somewhere.
