i saw The Bourne Identity and enjoyed it.
im looking for suggestions of movies like it (espionage/spy type stuff).
not like James Bond or True Lies or Mission Impossible, not big action movies, just something with lots of spy games/mystery
i hope im getting my point across

The Falcon and the Snowman
Kiss of the Spider Woman
Midnight Express
Ross, while the last two are not explicity spy movies, I think they tap into the spirit of what you're searching for.

Do you even take time to read the entirety of a one-sentence post? Or are you too busy with your pedantry?
As I said, the last 2 suggestions were not explicity spy movies. However, I felt that they are evocative of the same spirit - tension, secretiveness, and subversion.
Care to be
constructive in your response and stick with providing a list of your own?

How about Spy Game? I thought that one was fairly interesting and dealt with the not-so-glamorous side of life in the CIA. Interesting political thriller.

No harm done. I can see your point now. I can be intolerant to a fault.

| Ecks vs. Sever with Antonio Banderas/Lucy Liu is another espionage/spy film that's coming out in theaters late September that I'm looking forward to. I'm hoping they let Ray Park show some of his martial arts skill also. He hasn't done much fighting since Darth Maul in TPM and he was wasted in X-Men. |
Oy...:p)
The man I loved - the man who vanished - he never came back at all. But maybe he's still out there, somewhere. Maybe some day, when Gotham no longer needs Batman, I'll see him again.
