List by Keith
Spy thrillers
This list started from a discussion Dirk and I had in his M:I 3 review thread. The criteria is spy thrillers that focus mainly on thrilling, rather than all-out action. The list is not in any particular order.
As it is a genre I particularly like, I would welcome any suggestions.
I'm hurting my brain trying to think of something to add to this....Not very succesful so far.
Great List!
Have you seen The Good Sheppard with Matt Damon? I may be in the minority on this one but I loved that movie! Takes you through the creation and early days of the CIA and how it can potentially destroy your personal life. Really intense and gripping all the way through!
@Dirk: Try harder! :-p
@Josh: Have come across that film once or twice, but always put it back on the shelf because it didn't seem that interesting. Based on your suggestion, I will give it a go tho as I really love the genre!
Munich and Flame & Citron?
Also Enemy of the State.
Great idea for a list. Makes me realise how much I like this genre.
A couple spring to mind that I watched many years ago, but have stayed with me:
The Internecine Project (1974)
Gorky Park (1983)
A few not on your list that I've enjoyed more recently:
Shooter (2007)
Breach (2007)
Traitor (2008)
Have updated the list to include all suggestions.
Watched and added The Double. Decent spy thriller.
