Talking 'bout my Genre-ation!
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
