The 10 Best Spy Movies That Aren't Bond - by Blair Marnell/ Movies/ Features/ ComingSoon.net/ comingsoon.net
"On November 6, Daniel Craig’s fourth James Bond film, SPECTRE, will hit theaters and pit 007 against the organization that gave Bond so much trouble in the pre-reboot films. SPECTRE is also likely to be one of the biggest box office hits of the year. Like the new Bond theme says, “The Writing’s on the Wall.”
For many movie fans, the Bond films are the epitome of spy stories. 007 movies can almost always be counted on for beautiful and deadly women, exotic locations, memorable villains, over-the-top action, and a much needed escape from reality. In a way, the Bond films serve as spy fantasies, since they have little in common with the reality of spycraft.
But spy movies have been around since the earliest days of cinema, and while there are a lot of variations on the theme, they primarily traffic in suspense, betrayal, and even murder. There’s also a popular recurring theme in which ordinary people are swept up into the world of espionage against their will, which can be very unforgiving for the characters who aren’t equipped for that life.
Before SPECTRE takes over the world, ComingSoon.net is taking a look back at ten of the best spy movies that don’t feature James Bond. Almost every decade of film is represented on this list, but it is by no means comprehensive. Everyone has their personal favorite spy movies, and we invite you to share yours in the comments section below!..."
Hitchcock strikes again in Notorious, a spy film that centers on Alicia Huberman (Ingrid Bergman), a woman who is recruited to infiltrate the Nazi organization that has fled to Brazil by seducing one of their own, Alex Sebastian (Claude Rains). Complicating matters is the fact that Alicia’s handler, T. R. Devlin (Cary Grant) has already fallen for her when she marries Sebastian as part of her mission.
