Shaun of the Dead (2004): Shaun of the Dead is a great zombie–comedy by writers Pegg and Wright, poking fun at survival horror, romance, and action films alike. Being a spoof, there aren't many original ideas, but there sure are some laughs to be had.
Hot Fuzz (2007): Pegg and Wright seem a near–perfect writing combination, and the same can be said for Pegg and Frost's onscreen connection. This one will have you laughing out loud throughout the unlikely and comic murder–mystery plot.
Beverly Hills Cop (1984): Murphy makes a real name for himself as wise–cracking good guy, who always means well even if he doesn't do things the right way. A great police action film which should definitely be seen by fans of the genre.
48hrs (48 Hours) (1982): Nick Nolte is dead–serious cop, while Murphy is wise–cracking ex–con, making their on–screen connection an unlikely but very funny one. This may look like an 80s flick, but is an excellent action comedy with elements still seen in buddy–cop films today.
Bad Boys (1995): The idea of a buddy–cop movie with strained but humorous relationship between the leads may not be original (Lethal Weapon, 48 Hours), but Bad Boys has a certain charisma that carries it through and keeps it fresh. Now whatcha gonna do?
Bad Boys 2 (2003): Bay brings us some more explosions amidst the laughs created by Lawrence and Smith, who continue to have a fun on–screen chemistry. Slow–mo sequences, car chases, and one particularly memorable in–house shootout that stands out.
Transporter 2 (2005): Less entertaining than the first, despite more action, outrageous set pieces, and the scantily clad dual–wielding Amber Valletta.
Transporter, The (2002): A fun actioner, something of a cross between Borne and Taxi, with Statham in the lead and showing off his "don't mess with me" martial arts skills. The Transporter isn't a smart actioner, but it is mostly solid.
Crank 2: High Voltage (2009): Not as original as the first, but still with plenty of fast–paced thrills, Crank 2 has Statham back again and cheating death for another 90+ minutes.
Crank (2006): A frenetic rush of a film based on the premise of adrenaline (Statham needs to keep moving, and fast, or he'll die), Crank has a unique feel to it and shows off some original action sequences at break–neck pace. You won't be bored watching.
