The film that set the gold standard for '80s action comedies and made Eddie Murphy a superstar remains one of the most entertaining and endless rewatchable pictures of its decade. The fish-out-of-water comedy about a Detroit cop who comes to the poshest city in the US to investigate his friend's murder is a pure joy.
