Good cop/police movies?Suggestions please.
I saw Narc a little while ago and wasn't very pleased..a bit too depressing [I hate drugs] and the ending was just too open. However, I do love police movies, and haven't seen a good one in a long time. Any suggestions for some rather new ones I haven't seen? I wouldn't mind suggestions for older ones either though.

LA Confidential is not only a great cop movie but one of the best movies ever.
French Connection
I remember like Blue Steel a lot when I first saw it, but I haven't seen it in forever, and I've lately come to the realization that movies I loved when I was 16 no longer necessarily resonate with me now that 10+ years have passed
Heat is great, both as a movie and as an audio demo disc. Amazing gunshots

Might help a bit if we knew what type of police movies? Action, drama, procedural, etc... Some recommendations that come to mind though:
Corruptor (helps if you like one or both of the lead actors)
Training Day
The Shield (TV series)
Donnie Brasco (kinda sorta)
Heat
Bone Collector
The Untouchables
LA Confidential
Lethal Weapon series (well personally I'd cut out 4 but that's just me)
Fugitive/US Marshalls (kinda sorta)
Fallen (more supernatural though)
Under Suspicion/The Interview (if you are looking for interrogation movies)
If you don't mind subtitles here's some more (esp the HK ones)
Crimson Rivers (French)
Vidocq (French - more supernatural though)
Hard Boiled (HK)
The Killer (HK)
Running Out Of Time (HK) *
Big Bullet (HK)
City on Fire (HK)
Double Tap (HK)
Expect the Unexpected (HK)Extreme Crisis (HK)
Full Altert (kind of like Heat) (HK)*
Longest Night (HK)
Option Zero (more of a SS/protection sort of thing) (HK)
First Option (one of the best small unit tactics movie I've seen) (HK)
* - highly recommended

Some good HK cop movies worth watching:
Infernal Affairs is an excellent movie about an Under Cover cop, and a Gang Member that is a High Ranking Cop.
Police Story Series with Jackie Chan are great. 3 aka Supercop is my fav
PTU was pretty good not a lot of action, but some nice camera shots.
Hard Boiled, is an awesome movie with excellent Gun battles. The Hospital sequence is amazing.
