Basically what is your favorite movie surrounding the police. Mine are Heat, and Narc. Here is the opening scene of Narc. It is very intense, and kinda violent.

The French Connection. It is zues's forehead to all modern day detective movies' athena.
Sorry I've been thinking about God of War III a lot lately.

Favourite Cop movies in order:

Bon Cop, Bad Cop - Canadian comedy in cop form. Especially funny if you are from Quebec or Ontario.
Hot Fuzz - Who hasn't seen this movie? Do I really have to describe it? For the six of you who haven't, it's brilliant!
Se7en - Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, and Kevin Spacey in top form. What's in the box?
Training Day - Denzel truly earned every award he won as a crooked officer training Ethan Hawke, his naive partner.
The Silence of the Lambs - It may be Hopkins' movie but Jodie Foster is still the star and she played a great role as the cop on the killer's tail.
Demolition Man - I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for this movie. C'mon, who doesn't love Denis Leary's small but key role?
L.A. Confidential - Kevin Spacey, Guy Pierce, Russell Crowe, James Cromwell, and Kim Basinger in a drug bust epic based on real events.
Assault on Precinct 13 (2005) - I loved this broken film as well. Maybe because of Lawrence Fishburne; he's freaking awesome!
Lethal Weapon 2 - The best of the quadrillogy. Diplomatic Immunity has never been this awesome!
The Fugitive - Harrison Ford vs. Tommy Lee Jones. What's not to love?

The Departed is probably my favorite. It's funny just watching so many people die at the end.

Hard boiled. I would say Heat, but someone else already said that. This movie is the ultimate action movie, to prove my point, http://moviebodycounts.com/Hard_Boiled.htm

The movie is in Cantonese, but there are subtitles. My runners up would be the Killer, and the Seven Ups.

(First link is to watch the whole movie on youtube, second is for a shootout scene)

Infernal Affairs, better than the departed, in fact all three are very good. Also started watching the Wire recently and I am enjoying it a lot.
