The Greatest Spy Movies Ever
By an Amazon.com customer

	Austin Powers - International Man of Mystery (New Line Platinum Series) Buy new: $6.49 / Used from: $0.08 In the 1960s, the James Bond films were full of eye-candy for the audience. In the 1990s, comedian Mike Myers exploited this eye-candy for one of the funniest films of all time, and one of the best parodies in years.
	Austin Powers - The Spy Who Shagged Me (New Line Platinum Series) Buy new: $6.49 / Used from: $0.01 Inept super spy Austin Powers returns, and so does his arch-nemesis, Dr. Evil. Along with newcomers Felicity Shagwell and Fat Bastard, this film become one of the most beloved spy films of the 1990s.
	Austin Powers In Goldmember (Infinifilm Full Screen Edition) Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $0.01 Mike Myers returned as Austin Powers, Dr Evil, Fat Bastard, and Dutch mastermind Goldmember in the final chapter of the trilogy. While the worst of the trilogy, it is by far one of the funniest films of the year.
	The Avengers Buy used from: $0.49 One of the most underrated spy films in existence. Only let down because Warner Brothers edited it within an inch of its life, it features a great soundtrack, a good cast, Sean Connery in a teddy bear suit, and some of the best visuals in a spy movie.
	The Bourne Identity [Region 2] Buy used from: $2.84 James Bond was running out of steam after 'Die Another Day'. Along came another JB: Jason Bourne. Completely reinventing the spy genre, THE BOURNE IDENTITY also featured one of the best car chases seen in a film.
	The Bourne Supremacy [HD DVD] Buy used from: $7.65 Managing to beat the ace car chase from the first film, THE BOURNE SUPREMACY is just as good, if not better, featuring a sprawling tale of lies that takes Jason Bourne from India to Russia in search of his identity.
	Casino Royale (2-Disc Widescreen Edition) Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.99 Daniel Craig IS James Bond in the best 007 adventure in years. Eva Green is superb as Vesper Lynd, and - while the Aston Martin rarely got a look-in - the film boasts the best performances, the best action, and the best script in a James Bond adventure.
	The Fourth Protocol [Region 2] Buy used from: $24.29 An underrated spy film, it sees spycatcher Michael Caine searching for Russian spy Pierce Brosnan, who has a nuclear bomb in England and plans to detonate it! It is a heart-in-throat film, poorly received upon release.
	From Russia With Love - 2-Disc Ultimate Edition Buy used from: $12.50 This is the film that REALLY started the Bond phenomenon. Forget Goldfinger, this film has it all. A robbery in a Russian embassy. Robert Shaw as an assassin. The greatest fight sequence in a James Bond film. This IS the greatest James Bond film.
	GoldenEye Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $4.51 A tank chase in St Petersburg, an exploding Russian train, the biggest bungee jump ever and Famke Jannsen add up to, possibly, the best spy film of the 1990s.
	The Hunt for Red October (Special Collector's Edition) Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $2.64 While Sean Connery as a Russian sea captain might not totally convince, he is still brilliant in this spy tale by Tom Clancy. Alec Baldwin - not my favourite Jack Ryan (bring on Harrison Ford!) - does well, and this film rarely sinks below the level of GREAT.
	The Living Daylights [Region 2] Buy used from: $23.81 One of the most underrated James Bond films is a twisted tale of opium, diamonds, betrayal, and murder. And James Bond is caught in the middle. Timothy Dalton might not be the best Bond, but this is the best 007 film of the 1980s.
	Mission Impossible (Special Collector's Edition) Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $2.34 The first film in the trilogy is a web of lies, deceit, and murder, featuring Jon Voight, Emmanuelle Beart, Tom Cruise, and the best heist scene EVER.
	Mission Impossible III (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) Buy new: $32.49 / Used from: $1.22 The best of the Mission: Impossible trilogy has a raid on the Vatican, a great scene on a bridge, and Tom Cruise's most memorable performance. And THAT theme tune.
	North By Northwest Buy used from: $8.27 Alfred Hitchcock's greatest film and Cary Grant's greatest performance in this tale of 'wrong place, wrong time' is a spy classic, especially at the Mount Rushmore ending. And as the for the crop duster scene...
	Patriot Games Buy used from: $0.90 Harrison Ford makes his debut as Jack Ryan - the role he would return to in CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER - in this tale of revenge. Sean Bean is good, but the film is Ford's, and he carries it brilliantly.
	The Recruit Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.59 Upcoming star Colin Farrell does well along side the scenery-chewing Al Pacino in this tale of betrayal.
	The Spy Who Loved Me Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.96 An underwater car. The Egyptian desert. A tanker that swallows nuclear submarines. The Spy Who Loved Me - one of the best 007 escapades - is true espionage fun.
	The Tailor of Panama Buy new: $9.95 / Used from: $0.45 Pierce Brosnan goes against type as the sinister Andrew Osnard in this spy tale, adapted from the John Le Carre thriller.
