PS: True Story Movies the CIA Couldn't Keep Secret (Suggs???)

​Which of these true story films that exposes alleged* clandestine operations, activities or scandals of the U.S. government's Central Intelligence Agency do you think is the best? 

​* Due to the CIA's ​​"neither confirm nor deny"​​ response to inquiries, the answer pool includes some true story movies that are semi-biographical or based on claims that are not substantiated, but plausible.​ 

​Live Poll: TBD​ 

​See the partial list of true story movies depicting or speaking of clandestine CIA operations here: ​​https://www.imdb.com/list/ls086570827/​

@urbanemovies​ The United States Central Intelligence Agency was created on September 18, 1947, when Harry S. Truman signed the National Security Act of 1947 into law. On 18 September 2022, the CIA will mark the agency's 75th anniversary of its birth in its current and latest form.

I can't remember the name now, but I think there are some movies about the CIA pushing drugs/alcohol in black neighborhoods in an attempt to commit genocide on the African-American population.

I can't remember the name of the movie from the 60s, but this one deals with the same topic:

@mariojacobs​ Operation Paperclip is a subplot of quite a few movies including 'Captain America: Winter Soldier', 'Fat Man and Little Boy', 'The Right Stuff' among others. 

It also has been exploited as a focal point in a episode of various TV series. 
The only movie that I can think of that it dominates the plot is:
or maybe this one.
 The Amazon streaming series, Hunter (2020) has a parallel plot element that entails the discovery of Operation Paperclip, the U.S. government operation relocating many German scientists (many of them Nazis) to the U.S.

I am still working to refine the answer pool and validate the options. September 2022 is the 75th anniversary of the CIA.
