I love The Fugitive but I wouldn't consider it a cop movie. It is the quintessential action-suspense movie.

But Serpico is awesome.

Also training day is weak compared to Serpico. Denzel owes russians money so he robs people.

Somehow I fully expected a video of "how Lakers star Luka Doncic spent his Saturday" to be a quest for the best for the best Juicy Lucy in Minneapolis.

Yes, for those that don't know. Juicy Lucy is really a hamburger, so don't get any wrong ideas.


I was thinking of something very different :lol:

The winner of this game gets the first five championships, who says no.
