You have to keep in mind that during the Cold War, the movie-going public had a huge fascination with spy shit. There must have been a grillion spy movies and tv shows during that era. In addition, technology started advancing exponentially, so the gadget factor was a big part of the movies' appeal. Further, there was a sexual revolution and all that. That first Austin Powers movie satirically looks at these points and how they don't really fit into today's social climate. I'm not saying that you can't enjoy them now, I'm just saying it will be a different experience for someone going into these films without the context of the times as well as the nostalgia factor. Think of these movies almost like "Spysploitation" movies.
