The best Adam Sandler movies

 

    Adam Sandler can be funny, or serious or anything in between. With his movies, it ranges. For me, I've seen some of them. Here are my top eight best Adam Sandler movies that I have seen, and it's only from my opinion so take this with a grain of salt.

8. Uncut Gems- this movie was from Netflix. More of a serious role for Adam Sandler which is about a man who is a compulsive gambler making bets that would cost him his life in the end. It was very good, thrilling and you never could tell how serious it would get when not only his life might be in danger but his family as well as a girlfriend he is seeing on the side. Was rated a high score and it is worth the watch, but not my number one

7. The Waterboy- A comedy that is about Adam Sandler as a Waterboy in Louisiana for a team that despises him. Kathy Bates plays his mother who is overprotective of him, and soon, after dealing with all the hate he had been given, he takes his revenge out on one of the players soon becoming a tackler for the worst team with Henry Winkler coaching. This movie isn't the best in his comedic status, but it's worth the watch.

6. Murder Mystery- Another Netflix film that has some comedy and suspense on who ends up killed, and how Adam Sandler's character and Jennifer Aniston could help solve the mystery as well as stay alive as they have been framed for the murder they are trying to solve. The acting is fine, the story is pretty who done it kind of story, and I already knew who the real killer was. I found out they might do a sequel that involves a train. Might give it a watch, maybe.

5. Hubie Halloween- Released recently, this is somewhat like the Waterboy with a bit of horror. It's about Adam Sandler's character named Hubie, who lives with his mother. Everyone teases him on being well...strange. However, strange things happen in his neighborhood, people start to disappear, and Hubie wants to solve the mystery on what is going on in his town. I thought it was pretty good, not great, but worth a watch, especially around Halloween.

4. 50 First dates- when Adam Sandler is paired with Drew Barrymore, a good movie is bound to happen. This is one of them. Drew Barrymore has memory loss and doesn't remember dating Adam Sandler's character. It's more a romantic and drama kind of feel. To make her feel better, he goes on multiple dates with her. When she wakes up, she doesn't remember him. I remember this movie and it's pretty funny. Give it a watch

3. Big Daddy- Movie coming out around 1999, it stars Adam Sandler and twin boys named Cole and Dylan Sprouse (although Cole was in more scenes) Adam plays a man who looks after a kid that is left by his mother who died. However, he pretends it's he's the father when he really belongs to his friend (John Stewart). They grow a huge bond together only for it to break later when the liar is revealed. This movie was pretty good and pretty enjoyable

2. The Wedding Singer- Again, having Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are perfect together in any scene. Adam plays a wedding singer that performs at weddings. Drew Barrymore is a waitress, and he tries his best to fall in love with her after his fiancé left him. He tries his best to convince Drew's character that they were meant for each other. This movie is very popular and one of Adam's best. Worth the watch.

Before I give my number one, here are some honorable mentions: 

* Billy Madison- the only reason it is not on the list is because I've never seen the movie and if I did, it would be on this list.

*Hustler- Heard very good things about this movie that takes place in Philly. Never saw it that is why it isn't on this list.

*Funny People- A story that is more about tragedy than it is funny, but it is one of Adam Sandler's best works

*Punch drunk-love- A man whose life is changed through love. A movie that made Roger Ebert say: 'unexpected depths of an actor.' And that's what he was saying about Adam

*Airheads- One of Adam's first movies he had been in since working on SNL. More of a side character and not the lead, bur worth mentioning

1. Happy Gilmore- One movie that is very hilarious and worth the watch. Adam Sandler's character, Happy, lives with his grandmother who ends up in a nursing home. He always wanted to be a hockey player but ends up taking golf to save his grandmother's home. Falls in love, deals with a bully, eats Subway sandwiches and ends up winning against the antagonist. This movie is number one in my heart and worth seeing.
