Part 1. Top 10 Best Spy Movies on Netflix 2018

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

We’re kicking this list off with one of the best spy movies on Netflix set during the Cold War. The story takes place during the early 1970s and focuses on a British intelligence agency known as Control that discovers it has been infiltrated by a Russian spy.

Atomic Blonde

Speaking of Cold War-era spy movies on Netflix, 2017’s Atomic Blonde also takes place during that period but takes a slightly different approach to espionage. The main character here is Charlize Theron’s Lorraine Broughton, an MI6 agent send to Berlin for a top-secret operation.

Spectre

Needless to say, you can’t have a list of best Netflix spy movies without including at least one James Bond film. This is the latest installment in the long-running series and follows Agent 007 as he takes on a shadowy terrorist organization known simply as Spectre. If you’re new to James Bond movies don’t worry about watching Spectre first because it doesn’t tie that much into the previous films.

Jason Bourne

If you’re at all familiar with spy movies you probably already know a bit about the Bourne series. Just in case you missed it back in 2016, Jason Bourne is the latest entry in the franchise and focuses on the titular character as he continues to be hunted by the CIA.

Red Sparrow

Red Sparrow is one of the best spy movies on Netflix this year so far. The movie stars Jennifer Lawrence as Dominika Egorova, a Russian ballerina who gets recruited by an intelligence agency in order to seduce and spy on a CIA agent. Unfortunately for her, the mission doesn’t go quite as planned as the two start to fall in love with each other.

Kingsman: The Secret Service

If you’re looking for over-the-top spy movies on Netflix you’re definitely going to love Kingsman: The Secret Service. The movie takes the generic spy stereotype and cranks everything up to 11. There are explosions, futuristic gadgets and one of the best action sequences of all time. Make sure to give it a try.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle

The 2017 sequel picks up where The Secret Service left off. After the Kingsman headquarters gets destroyed, Eggsy and Merlin travel to the United States to team up with members of a similar secret agency known as the Statesmen. The movie isn’t quite as good as the original but it’s still worth checking out on Netflix regardless.

The Imitation Game

Arguably the best spy movie on Netflix based on a true story, The Imitation Game follows Alan Turing as he attempts to crack Enigma during WWII. Enigma was a secret code used by the Germans which was considered undecipherable until Turing came along.

Beirut

Yet another good spy movie on Netflix from 2018, Beirut feel a bit under the radar for some reason. Just as the title suggests, the movie takes place mostly in Beirut and follows American diplomat Mason Skiles (Jon Hamm) whose peaceful life changes after a chance encounter with an old CIA friend.

Spy

Most of the best spy movies on Netflix are action-packed thrillers or wartime dramas. Well, not this one. 2015’s Spy is a hilarious comedy starring Melissa McCarthy, Jason Statham, and Jude Law. McCarthy plays a CIA analyst who finally gets a chance to get up from her desk and go out for some real missions.
