come on, man. Spanglish was good movie, not traditional Sandler, but good. and it had Téa Leoni & Paz Vega in it!! that's got to earn some points.

i guess i was just drunk, but i didn't think Zohan was that bad.

i wouldn't say it was bad, but if it was for Jessica Biel and all her awesomeness, i would've only seen Chuck & Larry once and never again.

yes Bulletproof and Longest Yard was bad.

Best:

1. Big Daddy: It was the best combination of slapstick humor and seriousness. I also think its the most quotable of all of his movies which is a big part of being a successful comedy.

2. Reign Over Me: It's his best film and acting work. It was a step out of the box for him and it paid off. Also, Don Cheadle is just awesome in everything he does.

3. Wedding Singer: Hysterical and the eighties are just a great comedy background. It was also very quotable.

4. Happy Gilmore: Slapstick, but a little less goofy than Billy Madison


Worst:

3. Grown Ups: Just not funny.

2. Anger Management: For having he and Jack Nicholson, this movie did not come off very well.

1. Little Nicky: Too over the top and not very funny. Plus his voice aggravated me the entire movie.

Clear case of Jim Carrey disease.

Young and didn't care = hilarious
Older and started to care = comedic fail

I don't really hate anything else that he's done, although I admit I skipped on his serious stuff.

How the frick is everybody leaving Big Daddy off their lists? I think that was one of his best, and probably the last actual funny one until his movies started sucking.

Best
1. Billy Madison (hilarious, my most quoted movie)
2. Happy Gilmore
3. Big Daddy

I can't really list his worst as other than those three I am indifferent.

Damn, dude has a hell of a lot more movies under his belt than I would have remembered. I haven't seen all of them, which includes any of his "serious" flicks.

Liked: Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, and Little Nicky

The Waterboy and Big Daddy are both fricking horrible.

Reign over Me would be my favorite Sandler movie, even though it really is not funny I thought it was a really good movie.
