Netflix has a broad library of action comedy flops, such asThe Union,so I’ve made sure to only include thebest Netflix movieswith 85% or higher on Rotten Tomatoes. There’s something for everyone in this list, with both a classic and modern buddy comedy, as well as a beloved animated flick. So without further ado, here are four action comedies if you’re in the need to wind down.

Midnight Run

Midnight Runarrived on Netflix in Septemberand stars Robert De Niro as Jack Walsh, a bounty hunter who is hired by a bail bondsman to find a fugitive accountant (Charles Grodin) that’s embezzled millions from the mob and bring him to Los Angeles. While De Niro has constantly wowed with his dramatic roles, he’s also proven to be a stellar comedic actor asMidnight Runearned him a Best Actor nomination at the 46th Golden Globe Awards. This 1988 buddy comedy is an instant classic, with De Niro and Grodin’s chemistry providing endless laughs that makesMidnight Runa trailblazer over three decades later.

The Big 4

This Indonesian action comedy follows four retired assassins who are thrown back into the game when they meet a straight-arrow cop (Putri Marino) determined to bring down a mysterious killer.The Big 4certainly delivers big laughs with its silly, action-packed sequences and a solid cast of quirky characters that will have you in stitches.

Kung Fu Panda

Kung Fu Pandais one of my favorite animated movies as comedy connoisseur Jack Black plays Po the Panda, a kung fu enthusiast who is unexpectedly chosen as the divine Dragon Warrior and joins forces with the Furious Five to fight the evil forces that threaten the Valley of Peace.Kung Fu Pandais a wildly entertaining experience that both adults and children can enjoy with its touching messages amongst the backdrop of epic martial arts madness and memorable characters.

21 Jump Street

If you haven’t seen21 Jump Street,then I highly recommend you do, but you’ve undoubtedly heard of it, whether it be the 80s television series that shot Johnny Depp to stardom or this movie adaptation. In my opinion,21 Jump Streetis probably one of the best buddy comedy movies in modern cinema as two police officers, Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) pose as high school students when they go on an undercover mission to bust a drug ring. It’s a funny twist on teen movies, with iconic jokes that are still quoted and remembered today.
