10 Best Buddy Cop Movies Of All Time
5. Men In Black
Sci-fi tends to steer away from the mundane but Men In Black is the perfect blend of buddy-cop-meets-alien-life. Following his success from Independence Day, Will Smith stars alongside Tommy Lee Jones as the rash new MIB to Jones’ grizzled one.
The entire film is based off of the conspiracy theory that men in black suits roam the United States of America and secretly tidy away any possible link to aliens or paranormal activities. Mentioning famous incidents like Roswell and showing the stereotypical crazy theorist searching for answers are nice touches to the iconic sci-fi film.
Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, Men In Black was such a success that it spawned three films, an animated series and is currently under discussion for a reboot. With the ability to please science fiction, action and police film lovers, Men In Black is a trifecta of the best film categories.
