Top 10 Best Spy Films Ever
Рет қаралды 853,872
Күн бұрынWe walked into a room to make a list and we ended up asking: What even IS a Spy? Exotic locations, gadgets, fisticuffs, femme fatales, cars... Let's find out! Subscribe to get more of the GammaRay: bit.ly/GammaRaySub
The spy film is deeply tied to a notably bleak and paranoid part of real history: the Cold War. A time where double agents, murder, and betrayal felt like the norm. The inherent tension on a local and global scale has attracted filmmakers ever since. Let us know if we missed any you love, disagree with the list, or just love spy films! Where do you stand on the Bond vs. Hunt vs Bourne debate? Is Bourne even a spy or just an assassin?! Why is it called Mission: Impossible if all the missions seem totally possible!?!

I lived for two years in east Berlin in the 70's because my father was an Australian diplomat. I went to school in west Berlin. We crossed the border at check point Bravo twice a day to go to school. My best friends father was the deputy chief of counter intelligence for the British army in the Berlin area, a spy hunter. His opinion was that 'The spy who came in from the cold' best described his job.

Costner later said the biggest movie star he ever worked with was Sean Connery and the best actor he ever worked with was Gene Hackman. Hackman was particularly interested in the role because at that time he had played a lot of ‘every man’ and ‘salt of the earth types’ but had had little opportunity to play white collar types and wanted to prove he could excel at it, against type. And he certainly did.

I almost gave up on any salute to films older than 20 years until you chose From Russia With Love for the Bond film. It is the Bond movie that is more true to the original concept by Ian Fleming than later films. Those of us who have read all of Fleming's Bond books can see the movie From Russia With Love's atmosphere parallels the early 1960 tension of the Cold War. Sean Connery in From Russia With Love was the favorite of JFK, the ultimate Cold Warrior. All the movies since, beginning with Goldfinger, rely more on the carnival and bombast of the spectacle that Fleming never intended. Interestingly, Fleming died in 1963, after From Russia With Love premiered and before photography began on Goldfinger.

'TGS' was, in short, a film-saga that was anti-Bond, anti-Bourne, and which attended to the 'interiority' of the actual world of spies: no car chases, no shoot'em-ups, none of that lily-gild stuff that the bulk of US audiences now seem to require, absolutely. It suffers from what I'll call, 'The Kubrick Lapse,' ie, a film so finely crafted that it will take twenty-years for folks to catch up to it, if at all.

@@timbuktu8069 I think its not dramatic. The whole movie portrait the real deal without any superhuman actions. Most accurate it is.....

I ❤️ TTSS on a technical level, but many named characters have no dialogue thus the ending was predictable and frustrating.

Watch the BBC version with Alec Guinness... It’s 6 parts, so it dives deeper into the source material, and the acting is off the charts..

@@jacobjones5269 Depending on which edition you watch, it is either 6 or 7 (edited down for the U.S. market). Find the series that's in 7 parts for some details that help plot understanding.

Cloak and Dagger 1984!! Lol. It’s a good one for kids. Hitchcock used chocolate syrup in Spycho shower stabbing.

Ok, I can't disagree with the choices, but I think I NEED to mention a LeCarre treatment that I admit was originally a BBC mini series.....Smileys People. I swear there was more inaction than action, but I couldn't take my eyes off of Guiness, and I swear there were times I didn't take a breath for minutes. One of the most tense and intense viewing pleasures I've ever had! Also, thanks for not forgeting Harry Palmer.
