25 best police movies ever

The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988)

Sergeant Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) causes mayhem wherever he goes but still manages to get the girl. In Naked Gun’s case, he also catches the killer and saves the Queen. With a plot that riffs on 1977 spy film Telefon, this spoof police movie has no shame in its juvenile puns, visual gags and slapstick. We just wouldn’t want Drebin in charge of saving our lives. Unless laughter really is the best medicine.
