Favorite Sandler Film

Which one is yours, I'm leaning towards Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore/ Water Boy tied for second.

The Wedding Singer was funny, but mostly just cause I grew up in the 80's and references make me laugh.

That and Drew Barrymore looked really hot in that film.

Just cuz he's the same character in every damn movie he is in?

EXCEPT Punch Drunk Love, where he actually had to ACT, which is why it's good.

That's so tough, I don't know- I guess Billy Madison is my fave. I also really like The Wedding Singer also, and then tying with that in second place is Anger Management.

I love Adam Sandler movies. There's something about his immature man/boy schtick that really appeals to me.

While I haven't seen them all, I have enjoyed all the ones I've seen (even Little Nicky). My favorite would have to be Waterboy.

Airheads--although Buschemi[sp?] really ruled that one.

As for a pure Sandler vehicle [I really like him--I even thought Little Nicky was underated]I think it is a toss-up betweeen Happy Gilmore and The Waterboy.

Billy Madison or Happy Gilmore. Very tied with those.

His "stupid humor" was the best ever. I loved those certain scenes that make you go, "What in the HELL was that all about?!" So out of place, yet hilarious at the same time, for instance, Billy Madison calling up Steve Buscemi .. then he proceeds to put on lipstick. Brilliant!

He got too serious after those movies.. something changed and he completely lost that certain zing. Can't put my finger on it as to exactly what it was.

Punch Drunk Love was awesome from a non-comedic standpoint.

Never really seen any Sandler movies after Waterboy, but I assume they're all the same and not as good as Billy/Happy.

see.. sandler decided to include "love" in his later movies as opposed to just getting laid in Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore.

Happy Gilmore is by far the best of all. there's something about the cheese

Absolutely Billy Madison. I love the scenes with Chris Farley, especially.

"I'll turn this damn bus around...that'll ruin your PRECIOUS field trip pretty damn quick!"

I imagine that Chris Farley would have caused the funniest scenes in Waterboy, and Wedding Singer, too, had he been alive. I wonder what parts they would have created for him.

I didn't like Punch Drunk Love for the same reason I didn't like Lost in Translation, even though it is clearly Adam Sandler's best acting work.

I don't think I could pick one favorite. All of his films are great, but I got a sick sense of humor like that. I would have to say Happy Gilmore, Wedding Singer, Billy Madison, Airheads, & 50 First Dates are all up on my top 100 movie list.

I agree with that completely, have not watched any of his films since the Waterboy so no idea on those.

I don't care much for idiot humor (I consider the Farrely brothers bad writers of drama), so most of Sandlers films are, well, wretched.

The Wedding Singer, though, I thought was really clever and witty, and 50 First Dates (which my wife dragged me to as part of her B-Day Present) had the potential to be good as well except for some really gratutitous vomit and sexual ambiguity jokes.

As for the rest of them, watching Adam Sandler play a quirky but loveable moron is my idea of what might happen on the submarine to hell.

I hate Adam Sandler, but I hear Punch Drunk Love is good. So I'll say that's my favorite simply because I hate every other movie he's ever been in.
