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 :D

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!

    Mine are mostly old shows, Love the Flint Movies ( Hope they get remade,sometime ) :D
    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 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.
