Brooklyn Nine-Nine is one of the funniest shows out right now. It also one of the most clever shows on television, as it's hilarious but also manages to address serious issues and themes that are relevant at the time. Brooklyn Nine-Nine is filled with numerous pop culture references, whether it be other celebrities, tv shows, or movies, which makes it a lot of fun and might make fans want to see what they've referenced if they haven't already.
Whether it's a character's all-time favorite film or it's part of the same genre, there are plenty of films to watch that fans of Brooklyn Nine-Nine would really enjoy.
10 21 Jump Street (2012)
21 Jump Street puts a twist on the buddy cop genre, with detectives Schmidt and Jenko going undercover at a high school in order to find a drug dealer who is selling to students. Of course, the two look nothing like high school students, which makes it a whole lot funnier when they become friends with some of them. 21 Jump Street has a similar kind of humor to Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
9 Die Hard (1988)
Die Hard is a classic action film but it's also an important part of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Jake Peralta's all-time favorite movie is Die Hard, and it's referenced several times in the show. It's an iconic film about a policeman called John McClane who gets caught in a terrorist attack at a Christmas party in a high rise building. There are several references to Die Hard in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, from an episode dedicated to it to Jake's wedding cake is a model of Nakatomi Plaza.
8 The Nice Guys (2016)
Set in the 1970s The Nice Guys is a funny and stylish film that has a lot of similarities to Lethal Weapon. It's about a detective and a private investigator who investigate the death of an adult film actress and the case of a missing girl. While the film can get quite violent, it's also very entertaining; the growing friendship between Gosling and Crowe's Nice Guys characters is really fun to see.
7 The Hard Way (1991)
The Hard Way stars Michael J Fox as a famous actor who teams up with a real police officer in order to study his mannerisms for a role that he is about to play. Naturally, the two don't like each other but they have to work on a case together whilst also dealing with being in each other's company constantly.
It's a stereotypical early 90s buddy cop movie that any Brooklyn Nine-Nine fan would thoroughly enjoy.
6 22 Jump Street (2014)
The novelty of 22 Jump Street is that it's extremely similar to its predecessor but has a much bigger budget, something which is frequently. This time, instead of heading to high school, Schmidt and Jenko go to college to investigate the use of drugs and to find the dealer. It's a great sequel that is even funnier than 21 Jump Street, which is hard to do.
5 Lethal Weapon (1987)
A classic and another film referenced in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Lethal Weapon is about a reckless police detective who has to team up with a more seasoned officer and the two of them create an unlikely friendship. It's a perfect buddy cop film with just enough drama and the right amount of comedy. Lethal Weapon is a cheesy yet clever film and both Mel Gibson and Danny Glover are great in it.
4 Hot Fuzz (2007)
Hot Fuzz is a more obscure film in terms of likening it to Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It's about a London police officer who gets transferred to a small town that has a lot of big secrets. The plot is so ridiculous that it actually works and there is a lot of laughs out loud moments throughout. Hot Fuzz is an unconventional cop film but it's guaranteed to make everyone laugh.
3 The Heat (2013)
The Heat is about an FBI agent who has to team up with a Boston cop. The two have extremely different personalities and it makes for a funny dynamic. Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy's characters could not be more different and they do a really good job of showing that contrast.
It's a cool female-led take on the genre and fans of Brooklyn Nine-Nine could definitely imagine Rosa and Amy in their own movie after seeing this.
2 Beverly Hills Cop (1984)
Beverly Hills Cop is another classic cop movie starring Eddie Murphey and is about a police officer who goes to Beverly Hills in order to investigate the murder of his best friend. The film was a huge part of Murphey's rise to fame and it was very successful upon its release. It also encapsulates the 80s movie style perfectly.
1 Die Hard 2 (1990)
Die Hard 2 is just as iconic as the first film. This time, John McClane's troubles lie at an airport at Christmas time. A team of terrorists threatens to destroy an airport and people's only hope is that John McClane will find a way to stop them. Both Die Hard and Die Hard 2 to are also considered Christmas movies, and while the Die Hard series seems to be never-ending but Die Hard and Die Hard 2 is when the series is at its best.
