RESULTS: Top 25 Spy/Espionage Films

[TheZoof]

I agree with this list. I think I would put True Lies closer to the top but the order doesn't matter that much.

I would also put Kingsman a lot higher. It was fantastic.

[Al_The_Strange]

Great list, thanks for your hard work.

Surprised Goldfinger wasn't higher. Nice list.

I didn't mean that as a reply though NxNW was great

Glad with the #1!

Thanks for doing this imsounoriginal!

[imsounoriginal]

Will be posting the full list of ranked movies tomorrow, so people have a more complete list of recommendations if they're ever looking for a spy movie. Got a very diverse range of films that people listed, which is great

North by Northwest. I am good with that. It was my #4.

[Jasonic]

Love the top 2. And I do like seeing a Hitchcock classic take the number 1 spot.

[Talleyrand]

Great list! Thanks!

Thanks again to everyone who participated

[Rodney-2187]

Too soon to do another spy movie thread, but if we did, I think Mission Impossible: Fallout would do very well.

[imsounoriginal]

Yeah considering how well the last two did, and Fallout seems to be even more popular. I thought it was the best since the first M:I, maybe even better.

[Rodney-2187]

I just watched “Deadlier Than the Male” on Amazon Prime. If you like the old Sean Connery James Bond movies, you will love it. Not a spoof or parody like Matt Helm or Austin Powers.
