Myers is such a curious guy. Made some stone cold comedy classics. But look at his filmography and its more misses than hits. Also, he doesn't do too much acting nowadays.

However, I'll always be a fan. So I am interested to see this.

Like everyone, he has had his hits and misses. One of my favorites is a lesser-known film he did in the 90s called So I Married an Axe Murderer. There's a brief scene in it where Myers (as the main character's father) discusses the Pentaverate. It looks like this entire series is based off of that moment. I remember the scene well, so I recognized the reference immediately when I heard about this show.

I would argue that is one of his best films.

As would I. But the Austin Powers films come next. ;)

I may never be able to forgive him for the horror that was, "The Cat in the Hat".  Truly.  Sometimes I go to IMDB to read the reviews where most of them were far more funny than that crappy movie insult to the memory of the beloved book.  ;D

I always liked him in 54. But then nobody wanted to see Myers play it straight at that time.

He's good in View From the Top as well, although that was a supporting role.
