Reading the other thread I thought it would be good to have a thread recommending films that others may have missed. Obviously we all know about Batman, Iron Man and films like that but a lot of really good films slips through the cracks.
The Lives of Others: Foreign film about a top East German Stasi agent who becomes absorbed in the lives of a couple he is monitoring. A great film if you can live with subtitles.
imdb 8.5
Running scared:
After a drug-op gone bad, Joey Gazelle is put in charge of disposing the gun that shot a dirty cop. But things goes wrong for Joey after the neighbor kid stole the gun and used it to shoot his abusive father. Now Joey has to find the kid and the gun before the police and the mob find them first.
I watched this film by chance and found it really enjoyable.
imdb 7.6
The Listening: Estranged by the degree of corporate influence within the largest U.S. listening station in the world, an aging NSA officer defects and mounts a clandestine counter-listening station high in the Italian alps.
Pretty good film about an NSA agent who helps a woman the NSA are mistakenly targeting.
imdb 6.2
Les Patriotes: Another foreign film. At 18, Ariel Brenner leaves Paris and his family to live in Israel. He secretly joins the Mossad, the Isreali secret service. After years of training, his first mission is in Paris to steal secrets from Remy Prieur, a French atomic scientist... We will assist to the methods, the manipulations, the abuses, the machiavellism, the doubts of secret agents
It's a decent spy film, it's not all shooting and bombs but rather the slow side of how they obtain what they want with sex, blackmail and money.
