By Celia Hall


Movies about spies have been popular since the fifties until today. As technology has improved, so have techniques for creating movies. So for this genre, here are some of the best spy thrillers of this era.

The most popular spy of all time is none other than James Bond. Agent 007 has captured the hearts of so many fans because of all his exciting adventures. The latest James Bond movie Skyfall starring actor Daniel Craig, is said to be one of the best ever created in the series due to its interesting plot and breathe taking effects. In this movie, M who is the head of the MI6 is put into early retirement because of a pending case of inefficiency. While this is happening, a threat has barged into Great Britain. It is up to agent Bond and the MI6 to track down this threat and capture him.

Following Mister Bond on the list is Jason Bourne. The Bourne trilogy is said to be also one of the best installments in this genre with its third film The Bourne Ultimatum being the most loved out of the three. In this movie, agent Bourne still does not remember his origins as a killer and still tries to find it while a dangerous CIA agent attempts to kill him.

No list of secret agent thrillers will be complete without Mission Impossible. Although it did not receive as many ratings as the first two, it hit home run with Ghost Protocol. In this film, the Kremlin organization was blamed for a bombing in the IMF. After going rogue, agent Hunt tries to save his organization.

Although the above mentioned films are the most well known ones in this genre, there are those that have just recently made its name but have already gotten a huge fan base. One example would be the movie Taken. This movie stars Liam Neeson as a retired agent who is on a quest to save his kidnapped daughter. He relies on his skills and instincts that he developed while in the CIA.

Another movie that hit the box offices quite well was Munich. This is a rather dark film that focuses on a true story about the happenings after the Black September. In this film, five agents are to kill the person responsible for bringing that day.

When two famous action stars collaborate to film a secret agent movie, then it will definitely be a stand out. One fine example of that is the film War starring Jet Li and Jason Statham. With breathe taking action scenes and quick paced fight choreography, this movie has brought fans all over the world to the edge of their seats. The story is about an agent who goes rogue because his family was killed during a war between the Triads and the Yakuzas.

So if one is a big fan of movies from this genre, then he must check out this list of best spy thrillers. These films have received some of the highest ratings in the year 2000 and have gained so much popularity among fans. These movies are definitely not something to miss out on.
