Adam Sandler’s Movies, Ranked Worst to Best

From Happy Gilmore to Uncut Gems, the greatest (and most grating) films of the star we call the Sandman

He goes by many names: Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Zohan Dvir, Canteen Boy, Opera Man, the Sandman. But ever since the mid-1990s, Adam Richard Sandler has put his God-given moniker above the title of his movies and established himself as one of the major screen comedians of the past 30 years. You may love his angry, abbie-doobie man-children and every-guy heroes, and consider him a comic genius. You might think most of his work is juvenile and ridiculous. You could even make a case for his lack of an Oscar nomination for his role in Uncut Gems qualifying as a prosecutable crime [raises hand]. Regardless, Sandler’s ability to go from standout Saturday Night Live weirdo to human hit factory whose Happy Madison production company netted a multimillion-dollar deal with Netflix has established him as a reliable, consistently bankable superstar.

In honor of fans finally — finally! — getting the long-awaited Happy Gilmore 2, we’ve ranked all of Adam Sandler’s movies to date. Well, most of his movies: We’ve left out the ones in which the Sandman shows up for what’s basically a credited (or uncredited) cameo, so no Coneheads and none of the movies where he lends his mug to a fellow famous actor’s project for a single scene. Ditto the animated movies that just use Sandler’s voice, with one very notable exception. From Billy Madison to Punch-Drunk Love, here are our picks for the best and the worst of the cinema dú Sandman.
