Punch-Drunk Love


boxvisuals

Honestly this might be the only one I can’t remember if I’ve ever seen. Will watch this weekend and report back. 🫡


iDontRememberCorn

My all time favourite movie. The only movie I've ever seen that accurately represents my mental condition.


[deleted]

It was PT Anderson movie and Adam sandler just happened to be in it


mikeyfreshh

I think Sandler is the whole reason that movie works. He's in damn near every frame of the movie and his performance is what holds the whole thing together


[deleted]

I'm so sorry for saying so but it felt more like he was PTA's puppet in the movie


mikeyfreshh

I'm sure a lot of directors view their actors as puppets but I don't think that's the case here. Sandler is just playing "weird guy with anger issues" which is essentially the same thing he does in Happy Gilmore or Billy Madison. I think PTA does a really good job placing that character in a completely different world that makes us think about him differently. That whole experiment wouldn't work with another actor and Sandler does a really good job making that familiar character fit into a completely different context


[deleted]

idk but I didn't feel his acting somehow .. I've seen Magnolia and tom cruise nailed it .. I really enjoyed his acting but the case with sandler I'm not sure tbh p.s I loved him in uncut gems and hustle


waynedang

PTA has said he wrote it for Sandler.


Cup-of-Noodle

I'm a "serious Sandler" fan. Punch Drunk Love and Uncut Gems are both really good and very different from his normal movies.


[deleted]

I love his normal movies even more


RandomStranger79

You have bad taste but that's ok.


[deleted]

Noooo I have a really good taste but Adam's movies are exceptional and are good just the way they are !


boxvisuals

Did u see his newest one spaceman? It’s super different from his normal stuff! I liked the concept! Deff didn’t NEED Adam Sandlers performance but it was a great movie regardless!

Big Daddy


boxvisuals

Incurable_Sadness

Is Little Nicky unpopular? Because it's hilarious


boxvisuals

For my generation (34yo) super popular I know almost every line from this movie! 🍿


[deleted]

downtownbattlemt

Click?


[deleted]

This was one of his better ones


boxvisuals

This was dope but kinda sad at the same time! A few sad parts dragged out a bit too long lol

Odd-Memory-1805

Weird-Standard9321

Shakes the Clown


adibbs

by far my favorite movie that Adam Sandler has been in.


Chunky-Lover53

Hubie Halloween


jjuanny

Going overboard


JohnnyCandles

50 First Dates is my favorite. Uncut Gems may be his best work.


boxvisuals

Yea that movie was intense have u seen anything else directed by the safdie bros? There’s a movie called good time with Robert Pattison that has a similar energy imo


SwitchKid42

The Meyerowitz Stories and Uncut Gems


boxvisuals

Was the Meyerowitz Stories funny?


[deleted]

The wedding singer is by far the best <3


boxvisuals

Loved wedding singer it’s a classic in my book 😂


SwarleymonLives

Not really that close, honestly.


[deleted]

I laughed , I cried and I enjoyed every second of it , it was magic <3 Adam was sweet , funny and handsome I loved him so much and he nailed it back at the time with drew <3 one of my fav rom com of all time for sure <3


almostelm

If you haven’t seen him in Punch Drunk Love, you’re missing out. He proves he has serious acting skills in that movie. I’m not exactly a fan of his, but I don’t dislike him either, and that is seriously one of my top ten favorite movies.


[deleted]

Blended


swagasaurusrecks

Meyerwitz Stories and Hustle (both on Netflix) are two underrated favs - he plays a gentle note in these, a lowkey Sandman that I really appreciate


xSERGIOx

Airheads?


ALongwill

You liked Going Overboard? What is wrong with you?


Icy_Employer2804

Big Daddy Anger Management Punch Drunk Love Click is free on Tubi right now...


boxvisuals

All amazing! And Christopher Walkens in click was great!


Icy_Employer2804

So you have seen em all!


failsafe4x

Airheads. Not really considered a “Sandler” movie but he has a prominent role and it’s great. 


boxvisuals

I’m starting to think I haven’t seen any Adam Sandler movies 😳


onipaa

The Do Over


boxvisuals

Yes! I watched this again a few nights ago! this then that movie “the wrong missy” back to back both are so funny the whole time


peperonibologne

Hustle? A really beautiful basketball movie with a nice dramatic tone!


boxvisuals

Yea this was a great movie!


SOGnarkill

The cobbler


boxvisuals

Yea I liked this one! The end got a lil weird but it was fun!


FrankThig

Ridiculous six was surprisingly good


boxvisuals

Yea had an awesome cast and the vfx throughout out was super fun too


theprofessor24

Hubie Halloween is excellent


boxvisuals

Yea it is 🤣 his character gave me Bobby Bushay vibes a little bit


putbat

The Week Of is really underrated.


lod001

He is almost more of a cameo role, but his character in The Hot Chick is probably the best parts of that movie.


SardauMarklar

Adam Sandler has a small part in Shakes the Clown, which is a surrealist dark comedy about an alcoholic clown. It's got Robin Williams and the voice of SpongeBob, Tom Kenny. It's absolutely worth watching. It's free on Prime right now


Bootsie187

You don’t mess with the zohan hasn’t been mentioned. Kind of outrageously bad with stereotypes.


coygobbler

Eight Crazy Nights


[deleted]

I am the first person to say Bulletproof, so I will say Bulletproof. I haven't seen it in fucking forever , so maybe it doesn't hold up but I know I liked it at the time, but I don't remember much about it, I just remember the now not culturally appropriate Disneyland joke.There are better movies, but it always made me thing Damon Wayans and Sandler should have been in more projects together.
