But best example of a police precinct (movie or TV) was Barney Miller.
Per DEA acquaintance, best forensics is NCIS.

Chinatown

 

[Roar More]

Chinatown

"Chinatown" was not a police movie, but a PI movie. Which would be a good thread on its own.

Bullitt
French Connection
The 7 Ups

btw, since my g/f is into action movies, but hasn't really kept up . . . we watched The Raid and The Raid 2 this weekend.

holy smokes, Iko Uwais is incredible. 2 of the best cop movies/action movies in the last 20 years.

 

[mbahses]

Black Rain.

 

[preshlock]

'Training Day' is my favorite,..followed closely by 'Dark Blue.' Have a very high opinion of police officers even though both are negative portrayals. Just interested by LEO that will cross the line because it makes for such a compelling story.

 

[Brian LB-U]

State of Grace (Sean Penn), No Country for Old Men (Tommy Lee Jones), 8 million ways to die (Jeff Bridges), Q&A (Nick Nolte), Basic Instinct (Michael Douglas).....

 

[mbahses]

[ColumbusNit]

Of course, "Dirty Harry", "The Blue Knight" (William Holden), and the "Starsky & Hutch" pilot movie.
