But I have not read any of that person's work. Thankfully.
I liked all the Austin Powers movies.
“He didn’t know Lapin meant rabbit in French. “ Ireena
Oh, the Pope warned me never to trust the CIA!
The reality of the Lotus Esprit was pretty funny. I saw the above water version of that at a Brit car event in Norcross (N ATL suburb) about 10 years ago. Basically a Esprit body over a John boat with maybe a 25 hp motor to move it around. The underwater stuff I think was all plastic models.
Goldfinger and the other Connery Bond flicks.
To this I’ll add “The Man Outside”, starring Van Heflin.
I like “Tinker, Tailor” as well. Excellent casting, and the performances really worked well.
I have to go back and review the list, but I also thought “The Lives of Others” was a spectacularly powerful film.
Ok. So the article is a paid plug for A Most Wanted Man.
Fine. Maybe on my list, maybe not after this pathetic article by ‘entertainment reporter’ Maria Gomes.
I’d like to know the other 14 films.
“FAIL,” Maria.
My wife and I both really liked “Slow Horses” (Apple TV) with Gary Oldman as the lead! I very much enjoyed that series...and I hear they are doing another season.
Oh yes. To me, one of the most powerful scenes in that movie is the woman looking through her keyhole at the activity in the hall.
Hahahahahah I had the exact same response! Where are all the others?
Gene Hackman was mentioned, who pretty much played the same guy in “The Conversation” (1974) and “Enemy of the State” (1994). The way he left us was tragic and odd, too.
Then we have the fictional threat of “Hail HYDRA” in so many Marvel movies. Good thing we don’t really have a secret government within the government; right?
Hold on; the dog is barking at the door...

Never seen one of those, whatever they are
The Honecker joke scene, where the officer laughs with the joke, and then asks, “Name?”
...and it makes a great ring tone!
You got to see the Spy Who Shagged Me.
I imagined “The Counterfeit Traitor” to be realistic — it involves lying and not much glamour.
Very powerful movie. Several weeks ago, I visited the army museum in Fort Belvoir in Washington DC and spoke with one of the docent there for about an hour. He had served in Germany during the 60s as an intelligence officer, and he thought that was one of the most powerful movies out there as well.
