What did we think of it, Yas Forums? Are there any other adaptions of John le Carre novels worth watching? What about the '79 miniseries?

Also good

The Night Manager

Both his newer adaptations are pure kino. Night Manager and little drummer girl.
Although I liked the night manager better.

Not enough explosions for Yas Forums plebs.

Night manager is kino and little drummer girl is good too

The spy who came in from the cold bro

The Spy Who Came In From the Cold is also good. Richard Burton plays a good disillusioned, bitter alcoholic.

Brilliant film, loved everything about it.

The miniseries is great as well, it lets everything breathe a bit more. Acting and dialogue is amazing but it’s shot in a bit of a pedestrian way. Clearly a tv production of its time.

The sequel tv series Smiley People is worth a watch but the production is even less interesting.

The Spy Who Came in from the Cold is among the best adaptations of Le Carré. The Comstant Gardner is a good film but it’s not really going to scratch the itch that TTSS did.

The Night Manager is quite good, more stylish than the older miniseries mentioned above.

An underrated gem would be The Looking Glass War. There a a BUNCH more but the only other one worth watching if you’ve already seen everything already mentioned is A Perfect Spy

I watched some of the original series with obi wan on youtube and it seemed pretty good

also unrelated but the original house of cards is really good and is all on youtube and I recommend it

>The Comstant Gardner
Overrated schlock

This is the only good one

It's great. So great I forced other people to watch it.

The Little Drummer Girl is directed by the Chan-wook Park

It took me this thread to realize that Geoffrey Rush and Gary Oldman were different people.

The Tailor of Panama and The Russia House are highly underrated.

I like the movie but I the changes from the book, particularly the unnecessary gay shit, annoy me.

>Richard Burton plays a disillusioned, bitter alcoholic.

Tbh he's not really acting then.

I read The Spy Who Came in From the Cold when I was a teen. Anyone seen the film version with Richard Burton?

>Geoffrey Rush and Gary Oldman
they do not look that much alike

Miniseries is 11/10, best piece of tv I've seen in my life
Also, Smiley's People

Deadly Affair isn't bad either, but it changes Smiley's name for some stupid reason.

Yeah, on my latest rewatch I was really taken aback by the sequence where Guillam has to break things off with his random gay lover, particularly as there is already the romantic aspect of Haydon and Prideaux's relationship, so I'm not really sure why they felt the need to shoehorn that shit in. I guess that's Hollywood for you, though.

I haven't seen the original show nor read any of the books but I will just say that the identity of the mole was ridiculously obvious. They should have cast someone less obvious.

Imagine asking for a ticket to that movie and feel the cringe halfway of saying the movies name.

kino, i wish we could have more of this

How did he have the time to work in four jobs?

He got to bring friends

I seem to recall saying just “Tinker, Tailor” and then I went on with the rest of my life as a non-austistic weirdo like you that cannot reference a movie without explicitly stating the entire title.

This, expecially The Russia House.
It was the first western film to be shot in Russia, and makes full use of some great locations.

Imagine not knowing how to use a self-service ticket machine.

>One for screen 2, please
>There you go
>You too

Yes, hello I would like two tickets to see the 8:30 pm showing of “Friday the 13th part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan” please.

Oh it’s sold out? How about the 9:45 pm showing of “Friday the 13th part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan?”

>wagie ticke booth operator: "which one is that?"

People have done this unironically

>Are there any other adaptions of John le Carre novels worth watching?
A Most Wanted Man was good and was the last Philip Seymor Hoffman kino before his death.
