While Mike Myers takes his theme from 60's pop culture, they're very pale satires indeed compared to James Coburn's "Flint" films, which I can watch and still greatly enjoy. The original "Bedazzled" and almost anything else by that great jewel Blake Edwards are also eminently salvageable 60's brick-a-brack, and are head and shoulders more entertaining than any of the sugary "Austen Powers" formulas.
I consider Coburns depiction of the battle hardened realist Sgt. Steiner in Peckinpahs "Cross of Iron" to be his greatest role.
