The 20 Best Spy Movies

"The espionage genre is as old as filmmaking itself with silent spy movies set against the backdrop of World War I (1914's "The German Spy Peril" is on YouTube) testing the medium's limitations early in the 20th century. Literary works inspired many more of the spy movies to follow. Over the years, filmmakers have repeatedly adapted the works of John le Carré, Robert Ludlum, Ian Fleming, and more spy novelists imagining the covert operations of local, national, and international enemies. Great spy stories may make use of the genre's irresistible tropes — fast cars, strong drinks, double-crosses, etc. — but they do so while rendering unique portraits of the complex characters caught in their tale's crosshairs."
