The Bourne series is a perfect introduction to the paranoid spy thriller sub-genre and there are plenty of propulsive classics to follow a rewatch.
While the Jason Bourne series is one of the best political thriller franchises in cinema, there are plenty of similar entries in the spy movie sub-genre to check out after watching Bourne's adventures. The original Bourne trilogy is a triumph of genre cinema. The spy thriller series melds real-life political commentary with intense action set-pieces, while still ensuring viewers care about the titular antihero.

5 Enemy Of The State Coming from the same director as Spy Game, Tony Scott, 1998’s Enemy of the State is a wildly prescient and fun paranoid political thriller. Enemy of the State pairs up Will Smith and Gene Hackman as, respectively, a lawyer dragged into a murderous conspiracy involving the NSA and the taciturn retired NSA agent who helps him clear his name.
