Skip this one unless you're a devoted fan of campy 60s spy spoofs—the 1998 film adaptation of The Avengers is widely remembered as a bewildering mess that even its charm can't salvage. The plot sounds fun on paper, but the execution is notoriously clunky, making it a tough sell for a casual movie night.

Plot

British Ministry agent John Steed, under direction from "Mother", investigates a diabolical plot by arch-villain Sir August de Wynter to rule the world with his weather control machine. Steed investigates the beautiful Doctor Mrs. Emma Peel, the only suspect, but simultaneously falls for her and joins forces with her to combat Sir August.
