I think Reign Over Me is one of the most underrated movies I have ever seen. Not saying it is Oscar Worthy or list-worthy or what have you, but god damn Adam Sandler gives a tearjerker performance. Crazy seeing him in such an emotional drama.

The Sandman has so many classics it's hard to pick 10, not a bad list. I'd throw Bedtime Stories somewhere between 8-10

Punch-drunk Love = 1
Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison = 2/3 (depending on preference)
Big Daddy = 4
Waterboy = 5

All the rest

I would personally have it as follows:

1. Wedding Singer. I hated it when it first came out because I wanted in your face comedy like BM and HG but got a more subtle humor in it. It has grown to easily be my favorite Sandler movie.

2. Billy Madison. I just love the movie and laugh my arse off.
3. Happy Gilmore. It is damn close but I will put Billy above it by a nose.

4. Bulletproof
5. Deeds. Really has some funny humor in it but like Wedding Singer, you have to wait for it.
6. Airheads. Deep cast and solid flick.
7. Big Daddy.
8. Waterboy
9. Anger Management
10. Little Nicky

I wasn't a fan of his serious acting in Drunk Punch Love and Reign Over Me. For more acting chops I would have gone with someone else other than him.

Little Nicky is absolute junk and Punch Drunk Love was boring as hell, Waterboy was funny so could move up top 2 though are Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison for me.

Punch Drunk Love is his best movie - easily. And #2 is Reign Over Me.

But those aren't "Adam Sandler movies."

My favorite true Sandler movie is -

The Wedding Singer

He plays the character at the most somewhat normal even keel without being ridiculous with those stupid voices he does. Drew is great too.

Wedding Singer is his most rewatchable movie.

I don't know a single golfer under the age of forty that has not used "Go to your home ball!" or "Somebodys closer".

Every long putt I drain I turn around and say "El Prez learned how to putt. Uh oh."

Little Nicky is an acquired taste. I would imagine 80% of people that saw it, hate it.

Btw, Spanglish is a top 10 AS movie. Yes, chick-flicky, but hilarious.
