The Spy Who Came in from the Cold & The Counterfeit Traitor have just been announced as coming out on DVD in July.
Very much worth checking out if you're interested in this genre.
Also coming out are The Assassination Bureau starring Oliver Reed & Diana Rigg & the cult classic Danger Diabolik. Both of which I'm interested in seeing for the first time.

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 Counterfeit Traitor - is that the one about someone in diplomatic service, WW II?

When I came on this thread this am, I kept trying to think of some movie that I'd seen once on TV, that would fit in the genre, but all I can remember of the title is "countefeit"

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is out on DVD, hopefully Smiley's People will follow. These mini-series are pretty much the antithesis of James Bond type spy flicks. Terrific cast including the late, great, Alec Guiness as the lead character, George Smiley.

Ronin should be up there.

Target with Gene Hackman

Yes it could be the film you're referring to. It takes place during WWII and stars William Holden as a Swedish Oil Trader who is spying on the Nazis.

That's it, William Holden. Very tense as I recall.

Thanks!

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.

I'll second Spy Game
Everyone likes Ronin - Could be the best Car Chase on film (2 of um) and a super cool retro big band score.
