Out of the available choices, I opted for Bad Lieutenant, which is a superb film. I also would be remiss not to mention Internal Affairs, one of the most underrated films of the last 15 years.

My vote would go to Prince of the City starring Treat Williams.

I love L.A. Confidential but there is just something about Training Day that makes it top my list. I think L.A. was the better movie but Training Day just has some kinda charm to it...

Went with consensus...LA Confidential. In a different league to the others mentioned...not that I don't like them, I love Training Day and Serpico.

Copland was excellent but I've only seen it once. I may have to watch it again.

Training Day (2001, 9/10) gets my vote. With L.A. Confidential (1997, 9/10) coming in a close second.

Of the films mentioned, I'd go for Bad Lieutenant. Abel Ferrara is a patchy director, but BL, King of New York (which could have appeared on this list) and The Funeral are near-masterpieces. Keitel was incredible in Bad Lieutenant - confused, predatory, morally bankrupt and unable to understand why a nun would forgive two youths that raped and humiliated her; it's the ultimate catholic guilt dirty cop story. And I don't think I'll ever forget the scene where he pulls over the two teenagers in the car (if you've seen the film, you'll know what I mean). The ending is terrific.
The rest of the films are all very good (I haven't seen Narc) except for Q&A, which I thought was a complete snoozefest.
