What is your favorite spy movie?

Spies Like Us

What’s Up Tiger Lily?

For Your Eyes Only, but really, all Bond movies.

Movie wise: Daniel Craig’s James Bond movies (in my opinion, he’s the best Bond)

On the Tele: ehhhhh… Burn Notice maybe?

The Incredibles

Person of Interest

I have to say I really like James Coburn’s Flint movies:

Our Man Flint

In Like Flint

They’re just too much fun; a little 60s camp.

No Way Out and The Bourne Identity have a balance of tension and action I enjoy. I do like James Coburn’s Flint movies for the campy humor.

Return of The Pink Panther. Hilariously silly and foolish, but Inspector Clouseau always gets the job done, in spite of himself. Love the way he says fewwwn for phone.

Get Smart. Really cute and sweet and although Max is kind of stupid, he always gets the job done. Don Adams was a real sexy mod-era fellow. Love the will-they-won’t-they become a couple romance between Maxwell Smart and 99.

The Spy Who Shagged Me. Every wonderful sixties era spy movie cliche. It was so funny and Mike Myers is such a cutie pie. Great music, great costumes. He was like a cross between James Bond and John Lennon. Again, we’ve got a spy who’s not that bright, who ends up solving crimes, in spite of himself.

And (although not exactly a spy, but a Private Investigator) any of the Sherlock Holmes incarnations, but especially, the current PBS version, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock and Martin Freeman as Dr. Holmes.

Also really enjoyed Young Sherlock Holmes, with Nicholas Rowe as a school aged sleuth, just getting his start with his counterpart, Dr. Holmes.

Also really have enjoyed the two Sherlock Holmes movies starring Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes and the beautiful Jude Law as Dr. Holmes. Jude Law is like fine wine, he has aged well : P

My favorite, of all of the James Bond fellows, is Roger Moore.

It could be GoldenEye, but that’s mostly because of Famke Janssen as Xenia Onatopp.

@Kardamom I had forgotten about The Spy Who Shagged Me, but now I think I’ll have to rewatch it, and I really liked BBC’s Sherlock Holmes.

@RocketGuy Lol, The Incredibles are a post childhood favorite.

@King_Pariah Pierce Brosnan is so the best James Bond, but Burn Notice is the spy show I’m watching right now.

Not knowing of any actual movies about authentic ninjas, I’d have to say, Taken. I realize though, that like James Bond, this actually has nothing to do with what spies are actually like.

The Splinter Cell series. (neither tv nor film, they are games).
Here a little taste.

Notorious ( Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman )
Mission Impossible ( first Tom Cruise movie )
Gorky Park ( William Hurt )
Shining Through ( Michael Douglas and Melanie Griffith )
Goldeneye ( Pierce Brosnan )
Never Say Never Again ( Sean Connery )
Casino Royale ( Daniel Craig )

Spy movies have everything. Action, suspense and hot women.

Movie: The Man Who Knew Too Much (not about a spy, but a man who gets tangled in a spy ring’s plot to assassinate a foreign government official. The original, not the remake!) Probably the first spy movie I saw as a kid and it’s still one of my favorite movies.

TV: Burn Notice. I used to live in South Florida and it’s very well cast and beautifully shot, and it’s fun to recognize the different “types” of characters they have in there. Also, Jeffrey Donovan, mrrf. I’m just sayin.

Marathon Man
The Ipcress File
Enemy of the State

I have to say for this decade, Salt starring what’s her face. I didn’t like her as the actress, but the movie was quite entertaining.
