The touch of having a car slip on a banana peel I always appreciated.

Sandler’s best imo. Happy Gilmore a close 2nd.

It’s not even the best Adam Sandler movie. I’ll take the one that taught me grizzly Adams did have a beard.

Happy Gilmore is great as well, but the humor is tamed compare to Billy Madison.

It's legitimately like they gave him a blank canvas and said do whatever you want.

I know. Madison is freaking fantastic.

I just think the characters in HG are so amazing and memorable. Even the very minor characters like the alligator, Bob barker, the boss at the construction company, Ben stiller as the orderly all perfect

Definitely more memorable characters in HG. It's a better put together story. I guess that's why I like Billy Madison more, because it's so random and all over the place.

I personally like better:

Dumb and Dumber
Airplane
Caddyshack
Dumb and Dumber
The Nice Guys
Trading Places
Dr Strangelove
A Fish Called Wanda
The Princess Bride
Groundhog Day
My Cousin Vinny

No respect for dirty rotten scoundrels. Cried laughing my first time.
