Quite possibly the platonic ideal for a digital age spy caper, Doug Liman’sexpertly crafted ‘The Bourne Identity’ (2002) just edges out Brian De Palma’s‘Mission: Impossible’ (1996) as the “American Bond” franchise debut to appear on this list. An adaptation of Robert Ludlum’s1980 novel of the same name stuck in various forms of pre-production for s...
A cornerstone of the small yet consequential film movement dubbed “spy-noir”, Alfred Hitchcock’s‘Notorious’ (1946) represents the culmination of the director’s early filmic fascination with international espionage. With outings like ‘The Man Who Knew Too Much’ (1934), ‘The 39 Steps’ (1935), ‘Secret Agent’ (1936), and ‘Foreign Correspondent’ (1940),...
To put it simply, Bernardo Bertolucci’sepic examination of fascism and those who blindly fought, killed, and died for it is, as its poster suggests, “a dazzling movie”. Photographed by Vittorio Storaro, the legendary maestro responsible for the likes of ‘Apocalypse Now’ (1979) and ‘The Last Emperor’ (1987), the film is amongst the beautiful ever sh...
The oft-neglected middle child between ‘The Godfather’ (1972) and ‘The Godfather Part II’ (1974), Francis Ford Coppola’s‘The Conversation’ (1974) remains a feverish descent into an entirely different world of spying than the rest of the entries on this list. Gene Hackmanstars as lonesome San Franciscan surveillance expert Harry Caul (yes, the name ...
No self-respecting ranking of classic spy flicks would be complete without at least entry in the 007 saga from the original man with the license to kill; Sir Sean Connery. While ‘Goldfinger’ (1964), ‘Dr. No’ (1962), ‘Thunderball’ (1965), and ‘You Only Live Twice’ (1967) may harbor their own merit (and legions of die-hard supporters), no film in Con...
What Connery did for the British spy in the 60s, Robert Redford did for the American spy in the 70s, and as such, it’d be remiss not to mention his greatest foray into the world of counterintelligence; Sydney Pollack’s ‘Three Days of the Condor’ (1975). Redford stars as Joseph Turner (codename: Condor), a bookish CIA agent who comes back from a lun...
The second Hitchcock flick to appear on this list, the director’s quintessential spy caper ‘North By Northwest’ (1959) is among the most treasured of his entire career. Quite possibly the best usage of Hitchcock’s prototypical “everyman thrust into the world of the extraordinary” conceit, the film tells the story of Grant’s advertising executive Ro...
An all but forgotten French New Wave opus, Jean-Pierre Melville’s‘Army of Shadows’ (1969) didn’t even make its way out of France until 2006. Released during the Algerian War and deemed taboo by most critics, the brutal portrait of the French Resistance during the Nazi’s occupation of the country sat collecting dust at a handful of antique film shop...
No matter how many films they inevitably make, Sam Mendes’bombastic masterpiece ‘Skyfall’ (2012) will always remain the ultimate James Bond film. Much in the same way ‘The Dark Knight’ (2008) (a noted inspirative for Mendes) serves as a pitch-perfect culmination of the Batman mythos, so too does ‘Skyfall’ neatly wrap up forty years of Bond in an un...
When it comes to spy movies (just as it does with pretty much all other movies), Carol Reed’s ‘The Third Man’ (1949) reigns above them all. Set amongst the desolate ruins of post-war Vienna, the film centers on Joseph Cotten’sHolly Martins, a destitute American western novelist who ventures to the city after being offered a job by his childhood fri...
