Today we go over two of the most popular genres, Crime/Thrillers and

 

Spy films. The themes of larceny, robbery, and murder, whether on a

 

grand or small scale has always captivated audiences. Likewise, the

 

movie going public's fascination with espionage has never waned.

 

Reaching a peak in the Cold War years, they have maintained 

 

momentum  through the Millennium. Here now are my most highly

 

suggested films in both categories.
