Genre: Buddy cop action comedy

What’s it about? “21 Jump Street” stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as Morton Schmidt and Greg Jenko (Channing Tatum). These two were once high school classmates, but now they’re partners as part of the 21 Jump Street undercover cop program.

Why you should watch it: Having these two go undercover at a high school where everyone knows they look way too old is hilarious in its own right, but trust me, this movie will have you laughing until you cry with comedy bit after comedy bit.

Genre: Spy action comedy

What’s it about? Carmen (Alexa Pena Vega) and Juni Cortez (Daryl Sabara), assume their parents (Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino) lead ordinary lives. But they’re actually retired spies, and now their kids have to save them from the evil Fegan Floop (Alan Cumming)

Why you should watch it: I loved “Spy Kids” when I saw it in theaters, but looking back, it’s incredible the cast that Robert Rodriguez put together for this family film. It’s also incredible that the guy who did “From Dusk Till Dawn” did a kids’ movie, and then spun off one of the characters to make the absolutely brutal “Machete” years later.

Genre: Action

What’s it about? Chan Ka-Kui (Jackie Chan) is a Hong Kong “supercop” sent undercover to take down a drug cartel. He’s not doing it alone, though. Alongside him is Chinese policewoman Jessica Yang (Michelle Yeoh), and she can handle herself just fine.

Why you should watch it: Today, Chan is beloved for being a buddy cop action star, and Yeoh is an Academy Award winner. But this movie, also known as “Police Story 3,” helped launch both into stardom. It’s a must-watch for fans of the acting legends.
