Could anyone please suggest some??

Thanks!!
Red and Red2. I love it so much, it's not even funny. Which is ironic because the movies crack me up every time I see them. Basically they're about this group of Retired Extremely Dangerous people, which is where the title 'Red' comes from. They're all so old, but absolutely kickass and it's so funny to see how they trash all the current CIA and MI6 agents. It's a complete subversion of expectations of our elders and the abnormality of their lives contrasts with their relaxed and casual attitudes towards getting shot, for example. The cast is also fantastic, boasting names like Morgan Freeman, Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich and Karl urban, with the second movie adding in Lee Byung-hyun (who I loved in G.I. Joe) and Anthony Hopkins. Bruce Willis has a love interest who's a completely normal person and her constant shock and terror at the things the others are so at home with just makes everything so much more hilarious. Definitely recommend watching this; you're in for a wild ride.

1.) "Rush Hour" (1998) - This is a cop movie stars Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker as they team up to rescue a Chinese diplomat's daughter. It has a blend of action and comedy, with Chan's impressive martial arts skills and Tucker's fast-talking humor.

2. "21 Jump Street" (2012) - It action comedy reboot of the popular TV series stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as undercover cops who go back to high school to bust a drug ring. The movie is known for its self-aware humor, meta references, and hilarious performances from its cast.

3.) "The Nice Guys" (2016) - This is a buddy cop movie stars Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling as they investigate a missing persons case in Los Angeles. The movie is full of slapstick humor, witty banter, and explosive action sequences.

Try these:
  • Going in Style
  • Johny English
  • Bandit
  • Jumanji
  • Rush Hour
  • Jurassic Park
I loved them all. Here, Johny English has three parts: Johny English, Johnny English Strikes again, Johny English Reborn. Furthermore, Jumanji and Jumanji: Next level. Moreover, Rush hour was the best of all and it has three parts. All of them equally entertaining!

I recommend Ghosted. Starring aChris Evans and Ana de Armas. It has a really good blend of comedy, action-adventure and romance.
A must watch

And for a good action-comedy movie recommendation, "Rush Hour" with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker is a classic. The dynamic between the two leads, the humor, and the adrenaline-pumping action make it a must-watch for any fan of the genre.
