Hot Fuzz

Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright's follow-up to Shaun Of The Dead gives the action buddy genre a very British make-over. Pegg is the keen-as-mustard cop reassigned to a sleepy village where all is not as rosy as the locals make out. It co-stars Nick Frost and gets funnier every time you watch it.

It's not as inventive as Shaun of the Dead, but it's still very funny and clever. Simon Pegg is the too-smart cop sent to a Somerset town because he keeps showing up his superiors on the Met. He's paired with lazy oaf Danny (Nick Frost). But far from sleepy, the town turns out to be a hotbed of murder.
