Great Spy shows and films

[The Avon Lady]

TV? Get Smart :p and the original Mission Impossible series.

Movies? Spy Game with Robert Redford. But how can one not nominate that classic The Day of the Jakal!

[KevinB]

I Spy with Robert Culp and Bill Cosby.

[Ishmael]

Concur with the above choices with a few additions:

The Secret Agent with David Suchet. From the Joseph Conrad Story

The Constant Gardner & The Little Drummer Girl by Le Carre'

The Bourne movies by Ludlum

Reilly, Ace of Spies. With Sam Neill as Sidney Reilly.

Three Days of the Condor, very prescient for these times. Favorite line:
"I don't remember yesteday. Today it rained."

The Package with Gene Hackman & Tommy Lee Jones

Our Man In Havana with Guiness & Noel Coward by Graham Greene

Syriana with George Clooney

And the all time classic, The Third Man with Orson Welles as Harry Lime.

I haven't seen the Ed Wilson biopic yet but it looks pretty good & close to what I already knew about Wilson.

The one movie I'd like to see made would be a bio of Markus Wolf of the Stasi, the template for the Karla character in the Le Carre' series.

Apparently there are even more (and likely worse):
http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0000323/

Look at numbers 29 and 31.

Favorites:
Our Man Flint
The Spy Who Came In From The Cold
Blue Ice (Caine may or may not again be playing Palmer, but the name is Harry)

[GSpector]

Hmm, no 007 movies:hmm:

Sean Connery and Roger Moore were always my favorite Movie spies.

For TV, Get Smart.

Though I never watched it, on a serious note, was "The Saint" with Bill Cosby a Spy show?
