13) Dragnet (1987)
Tom Hanks stars in this comedy version of the iconic TV series Dragnet alongside Dan Aykroyd. As the slack-jawed, unconventionally dressed Detective Pep Streebek, Hanks brings a perfect counterpoint to Aykroyd's stiff-shouldered Sergeant Friday as they try to solve an unbelievable case involving cults and corruption. Hanks's comedy timing and playful energy are wonderful in the procedural format and make the film a hilarious satire. While Dragnet parodies crime dramas, the same performance that has Hanks recalling his early comedic genius endures.
