Best Cop Films

"I remember this one. When you're 7 it's hysterical, after that...just sad. Not Terrence Hill's best work."

I was laid up with more than a few broken bones the month this was on HBO and as a form of revenge, my little brothers and sisters (yes, I was the oldest and I was a prick) would turn it on and run away with the remote control when Superfuzz came on.  I think I actually cried a couple of times.

The Big Heat(1953)- Totally forgot about this one. Tough, brutal, B&W crime flick from the 50's. Glenn Ford, whom I usually dislike, Gloria Grahame(queen of the Gun-Molls) and Lee Marvin(meanest mother f**ker ever).

Ford plays a cop who, as usual, fights corrupt officials and the mob. Marvin is the evil button-man, Grahame....well, she's the obligatory whore w/ heart of gold. Ford is all quiet anger and pent up aggresion in this flick. Why is he angry? 'Cause the mob blew his frikkin' wife up!!! Grahame is sultry, tough, hot as hell. Marvin is just plain mean, what he does to poor Gloria...oy!
