Sam Rockwell Stars As Gong Show Host Chuck Barris
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind might be one of the most unusual secret agent movies because it tells the often disputed tale of Chuck Barris. While most of the world knows Barris as a TV game show host (The Gong Show), he wrote an "unauthorized biography" where Barris claims he worked as a CIA assassinat the same time as he was a television host. In the Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Sam Rockwell plays Barris while George Clooney directs and Julia Roberts has a key role as well. The movie...

However, Nolan's talent for putting on exciting set pieces with a practical filmmaking approach is easy t...
A Spy Comedy Starring Melissa McCarthy
Adding comedy into spy movies without becoming an all-out parody is difficult but pulled off wonderfully in 2015's Spy.

Robert De Niro As A Mercenary
Ronin is one of the most unappreciated spy movies in the genre, but its cult following is undeniable. Robert De Niro plays ex-U.S. intelligence agent Sam, who joins a ragtag band of mercenaries to recover a mysterious case from international bad guys. The movie blends two key elements of secret agent movies: the spectacular action and the paranoia. There are a lot of shady characters and backstabbing at hand, but when it comes to Ronin's reputation, it's best known for one of the greatest mov...
A Tony Scott Spy Conspiracy Thriller
Enemy of the State is an overlooked film worthy of another chance. Smith plays a family man and lawyer who finds himself targeted by a rogue spy operation that believes he possesses a sensitive videotape. One of many spy movies by Tony Scott, it is a kinetic and fast-paced ride that examines privacy issues in the modern era. It is refreshing to see Smith as a less capable hero and Gene Hackman recreating his character from the spy classic The Conversationas an old-school intelligence officer...

Ronan is fantastic, capable of pulling off dead-eyed action and affecti...
The Coen Brothers Slapstick Spy Movie
The Coen Brothers' comedies are often as memorable as their dramas and one of their best is the absurd spy story Burn After Reading. The all-cast cast is led by John Malkovich as Osbourne Cox, a mid-level CIA analyst whose work documents are stolen by a pair of inept gym employees, Linda Litzke and Chad Feldheimer, setting off a chain event of increasingly paranoid and deadly reactions all based on utter stupidity.
