Your SNL Post...Part 1

The main cat at The Big Lead posited the theory that Adam Sandler has had the worst post-SNL film career of any SNL alum.

I read the comments on that story, and others were making good points: what about Mike Myers? What about Chris Kattan? What about Eddie Murphy (now)? What about Dana Carvey? Hell, somebody even brought up Will Ferrell.

So, I decided to check IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, go through the filmographies of a number of these "actors" and list their best work and worst work, combined with movies I have no desire to watch. So here we go:
