This is another actor thread that could go in either the Bad Movies or Good Movies sections.
A lot of critics hate his movies but many people I know like them.
Well, most of them.   :smile:

I'd have to say my all time favorite Sandler movie would have to be The Wedding Singer.
That's a movie I can watch over and over and not get tired of.
I anticipated 50 First Dates because he & Drew Barrymore had such good chemistry together in The Wedding Singer.
Sadly, 50 First Dates sucked.   :thumbdown:

Happy Gilmore has some great moments too.

What's your favorite Adam Sandler movie?

"I don't like any" might be a little harsh (especially as I haven't seen most of them), but I don't really care much about them. Wedding Singer is one of my girlfriend's favorites, so I've seen it a couple of times. Although the song is fantastic, it still doesn't match my personal "good movie" criterion.

I have always liked Happy Gilmore. There is just something about that movie that amuses me. It's possibly the once scene with Bob Barker that might have made that whole movie for me.

"Now you're done...b***h!"

The only funny thing Sandler has ever done was the Hanukkah Song.

I was a fan of both Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore.  They came about during my early teen years and humor just fit so well for me.  I now have a soft spot for the films even if they aren't nearly as funny to me now.

Overall, Punch Drunk Love is my favorite of all of his films.  He puts in a truly fantastic performance as the emotional and angry Barry.  Fantastic film and one that I can't recommend enough. 

Happy Gilmore gets my vote.  It cracks me up.  If I were to pick a second it'd be Punch-Drunk Love.

He hasn't been involved with very many good films, though.  Click is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

Happy Gilmore got my vote but I love Little Nicky.

"I used to look normal before my brother Casius hit me in the face with a shovel."

Billy Madison.  Still one of my all-time favorite comedies.

Well, I think we know what I voted for, considering my name on here. 

But yeah, most of his movies I love.  I was a fan of his on SNL, and I was about 7 or so then.  Airheads is hilarious, with a great cast.  Sandler, Steve Buscemi, Brendan Fraser, Chris Farley, Ernie Hudson, Harold Ramis, etc.  Very underrated movie.

If I had to pick only one 'celebrity' that I absolutely cannot stand and have NO use for, to the point that I refuse to watch ANY of his movies, it is without one millisecond of reconsideration, Adam Sandler.

So, I cannot say that I don't like his movies, because I have not seen them.  They might be good to some; they might be funny to some.  But I refuse to put one cent of my money into his pocket.

Thought he was funny as Ken's deliquent cousin on the first season or so of "Remote Control" a while back, though.  Since then, you can have him.  I've got better things to do with my life.

I chose Little Nicky, but my fave 3 of his are Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer and Little NIcky.  It just depends on my mood at the time.  I haven't seen all of them, but some of them just beg to be avoided, like Anger Mangement.

 I can't beleive that more people didn't like The Wedding Singer. I love that film, but I'm also a bit of an eighties freak, so...

Anger Management wasn't bad, I thought.  But I'm a bit biased as I like most of Sandler's flicks, and Jack Nicholson as well.

I always liked The Wedding Singer the most because of the weird 80s madness. I used to be a huge Adam Sandler fan when I was younger, but these days I don't find him very interesting.

I'm just sad that Sandler hasn't lived up to what seemed to be some potential.  His character in Punch-Drunk Love was very much like an Adam Sandler character, but toned down, more complex, and more sympathetic.  I kind of forgot about Reign Over Me, though, which is further proof that he has some talent that he fails to use very often.  Hopefully he'll stop churning out atrocities like Click and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry sometime in the future...

Personally, I think Adam Sandler needs to make more movies like Happy Gilmore; funny, but there is an actual story with subplots and stuff hidden in it.  Those movies are always his biggest hits and are the most popular ones.

I completely forgot about Reign Over Me. That's definitely my favorite Adam Sandler movie. It was fantastic.
