Hot Fuzz
2007
A dedicated London police officer is transferred to the seemingly perfect village of Sandford, where he gradually uncovers a sinister conspiracy beneath its pristine surface. Edgar Wright's loving and razor-sharp parody of action movies and rural English life, starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
