Celluloid spies- the best men for the job
We've all got our own personal super spy- a name who risks it all for their country, consequences be damned. These are the super spies with a license to kill, and to entertain.
James Bond- How could we do this list without mentioning the original cinema spy himself? Can always be found with a martini in hand, a beautiful women in the other hand and q's finest gadgets, 007 always got the job done with style. We will all argue over who is the best actor to play him, but 007's abilities are never in any question. Bond is the person we think of when we hear the term 'spy', and nobody does it better.
Harry Palmer- Micheal Caine played this spy. A world apart from Bond, the Palmer films took places in gritty settings, with Palmer himself a mirror image of Bond. With glasses and lacking Bonds class, but certainly not his ruthlessness, Palmer proved himself to be a top spy in his own right.
Austin Powers- the 60s hippest spy, who was frozen only to be defrosted in the late 1990s to fight Dr Evil and his schemes. A send up of all the great spy movies and spies, he had Bond gadgets, Palmers glasses, and his own unique charm. Wed always get a good laugh as he saved the day in the most outrageous ways. Not only have the movies successfully paid tribute to the spy movies of yesterday, but also given us catchphrases and a world all of its own.
Jason Bourne. It took millions of dollars and years to make him good at what he does, but one wrong mission ends up with Bourne not knowing who he is, and inches from death. Bond didnt adapt greatly to the new millenuim, but Bourne slotted in brilliantly, blending into the crowd to work, but not above acting when the moment called for it. Attacked by the agency who trained him over the three movies, Bourne was always one step ahead.
