    Spy thrillers were much common in the 80s and 90s, whereby there was intrigue and plot more than action. Perhaps it’s the end of the Cold War and the rise of mission impossible as the de facto spy movie.

      The first Mission Impossible is a spy thriller and it is beautiful. Nothing against what came after it (mostly good spy action thrillers) but the first is a very different movie.

      Also: The Hunt For Red October. Phenomenal movie.
