Ever wondered what the best spy movies to watch are? You know, when you just want something a bit more thrilling, nail-biting and high-stakes? Well, with the chilly long nights rolling in, we have been wondering the same, too, because as fun as light-hearted comedy movies can be, sometimes we need something a little bit more exhilarating to transport us to a realm where some stop at absolutely nothing (even the threat of the own lives) to help save the world from unspeakable evil.
Most importantly, we have seen plenty of movies in recent years with an empowered female lead at its helm, which has always made for an inspirational watch (Think Charlize Theron in Atomic Blonde). And while many of these spy movies have served as an excellent way for us to escape our problems IRL, many of them have been so phenomenally executed that they have seen major award-season success, such as Jessica Chastain’s Zero Dark Thirty. But if you still cannot pry yourself away from those laugh-out-loud comedies that kept you entertained during the summer, you can get the best of both worlds with hilarious, rib-tickling movies such as The Spy Who Dumped Me and Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.
Honestly, the choice is endless, so without further ado, go undercover with our list of the best spy movies to watch…
