Spy movies are generally very popular and well received in this country, especially when there is a team of spies. Some are serious films, while others are meant to be comedies or parodies. In 2005, we got spies in suburbia (and real life drama) with Mr. and Mrs. Smith. This year, we once again see espionage come to the world of s... Read More

There are some stories of the past that are just epic. They tell a story, they involve you in their character's life to the point where you are invested in the outcome and you don't even know its happening until the movie is over.
