10 Great Spy Films (According to BFI)

"10 great spy films" by Matthew Thrift
BFI, 10 April 2020.
FROM BFI article: "While the spy film has been around since the earliest days of cinema, with notable examples appearing from the likes of Fritz Lang and Alfred Hitchcock in the 1920s and 30s respectively, it wasn't until the outbreak of the Second World War that the genre really took hold on the silver screen.
It's a genre with close ties to contemporary political climates, its literary and cinematic peaks unsurprisingly coming with the outbreak of the world wars and in the years of the Cold War. The latter provided the fertile ground for both the escapist adventures of Ian Fleming's James Bond and the unglamorous antitheses of John le Carré and Len Deighton."
