Three Days of the Condor from 1975 gave me a real appreciation for Max von Sydow and John Houseman.
Interesting twist near the end.

A film almost 30 years newer that also has a twist is Taking Lives starring Anjelina Jolie, Ethan Hawke and Kiefer Sutherland.

There are so many but it's soon time to watch Groundhog Day.
