Six classic cop movies that never get old

There's something about these six that keeps pulling me back, even after all these years. Training Day (2001) drops you into a single day with a rookie cop who slowly realizes the LAPD isn't what he thought. End of Watch (2012) follows two L.A. patrol officers as their routine shifts into something way more dangerous. The Departed (2006) sets an undercover cop and a criminal informant on a collision course where each is trying to out the other. Street Kings (2008) has a detective getting sucked into a mess of police corruption and murder. Serpico (1973) is the one where an honest NYPD officer puts his whole career on the line to blow the whistle on force corruption. L.A. Confidential (1997) takes three detectives through a tangled conspiracy in 1950s Los Angeles. So which one wins for you 🍿
