What Other Spy Shows/Movies/Books Do You Like?

MooseWithFleas

We're all obviously huge Bondamaniacs here and usually that correlates to a similar love of the spy genre. What other spy shows or movies do you like?

I myself am obsessed with Burn Notice and Bruce Campbell. Can't get enough of it

Also a fan of the Splinter Cell video game series, they released a few parallel books and they were interesting.

My mom was a big fan of the Avengers tv show so I got to see a lot of that as a child. Wonderful show!

I rather enjoy the Bourne films.....

I fear my days on AJB are now numbered.

Mine are mostly old shows, Love the Flint Movies ( Hope they get remade,sometime )
I've the dvd set of The Man From UNCLE films ( I was too young for the TV series )
Love the Avengers and New Avengers. I've also read many of The Man from UNCLE books and
the Nick Carter novels. Almost forgot I love the camp old Matt Helm movies. )

Forgot about "Spooks" made by the BBC. A brilliant series about MI5, some truly brilliant
episodes and some real shocks, when characters you've watced for several series turning
out to be russian plants. -{

Anything by John le Carre', The Man from UNCLE, Flint, Matt Helm, Mission:Impossible and of course The Avengers...I still think that Emma Peel was the first tough as nails female spy...and she made leather look great...

I liked spooks too, did you know that the foyer in the spooks HQ is actually the foyer
from the Freemasons HQ in Great Queen Street, Covent garden ,London
the prog makers have used our building quite a bit , oops let it slip there )

) I had read that, you should of got a job as an extra for a few scenes. I made a point on a visit to london to get to as many locations from Spooks and Bond as I could. Not a spy show but I also loved Hustle also filmed in the capital.

Great show! (It's called MI-5 in the U.S.) I have only seen the first 3 seasons, though. Sounds like I should catch up on the rest on Netflix.

Any of the Le Carre 'George Smiley' books or film/tv adaptations, and the Harry Palmer trilogy are my favourites.
