6. Rush Hour (1998)
This one seems like another no-brainer. The mis-matched buddy cop thing has been a staple of action-comedies for decades but Brett Ratners original carved a distinctive place for itself. A large reason for that was because of the thoroughly mis-matched duo of Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan, with the film and its subsequent sequels squeezing every little bit of comedy out of that disparity as they could (a fourth film is currently in the works and will predictably do the same). Its entirely probable well see a do-over at some point in the future, perhaps even keeping the racial difference of the lead twosome intact.
