Alien Nation (1988)

A buddy cop movie with a difference: one of the cops is an alien and the other is a contemptuous, racist and xenophobic human who debases the entire alien race on a daily basis, so not exactly buddies. Nevertheless, they've a case to solve, so they knuckle down to work.
It works best if you view the aliens as representative of cultural minorities in our own society, but you can ignore that aspect completely and enjoy it as a straight up cop movie if you want because Caan and Patinkin have the kind of onscreen chemistry that would be a joy to watch even if they were investigating the murder of a goldfish.

Omen III: The Final Conflict (1981)

The Antichrist has grown up and turned into Sam Neill. He prepares to initiate the end of days, but must first stop a prophecy being fulfilled.
I like Sam Neill. He can be cruelly methodical and remain charismatic. He kept me watching despite a huge series continuity error making me want to dismiss the entire film as lazy and disrespectful. It falls down a pit of religious bullshit at the end, but the journey to get there is interesting and not reliant on the cheap shots that plagued the previous film.
