 |  Best Espionage WW2 Movies? What are the best espionage/undercover WW2 or WW1 movies that you guys have seen? Personally, my favorite ones are: the Guns of Navarone, Where Eagles Dare and Sailor of the King.

 | Carve Her Name with Pride about SOE agent Violette Szabo. Now it Can be Told is very interesting, a cross between a documentary and adverture movie filmed before the end of war, using two real SOE agents as the main leads. I believe the IWM have recently released it on DVD.

| Enigma, Where Eagles Dare, and the Dirty Dozen (does that count as an espionage film?)
