If click was a Black Mirror episode and not a Adam Sandler movie, everyone would be praising it
vitor h sf most people like click
I liked Click though lol
Twilight zone
It was a goosebumps episode first anyway.
Maybe. I remember the saddest, scariest parts being very affecting. But it's worth noting that if it were a Black Mirror episode, it would never have all the unfunny faffing about that pads the movie and gets in the way of all that. No overlong colour-changing in the car, no farting in the boss's mouth. Just, y'know, the actual good part.
When Sandler doesn't write or direct his movies, he can actually be a good actor
Most of the time, he's clearly a producer with more creative control than the actual director... but he has never received a directing credit.
Vits Vicente Torres I meant producer. He just needs to be told what to do, rather than hold creative control
He, Will Ferrell and Seth MacFarlane all fall into that category of performers who are a lot better when they have something to commit to or are working with someone who really reins in their ego. When just left to their own accord, they're all over the place.
Robogabriel YESSS
Every actor does good and bad movies
*Reign Over Me* is in my opinion one of the best 9/11-related movies ever made specifically BECAUSE it focuses so little on the tragedy itself and more on the aftermath of how it shaped Sandler's character into who he is vs who he was.
It was one of the first films I saw as a child that not only made me understand how serious PTSD & grief are but how it can change and potentially destroy relationships between loved ones. It was eye-opening for my young, innocent self.
I never once laughed at Sandler's character, even when humor was intended, which I previously never thought could happen. That's how heavily his loss and performance hit me. Overall, it's my 100% favorite of his few dramatic roles.
I think it's a criminally underrated film
Watching him in the court room is just chilling
Just shows Sandler can act outside comedy if he can get acting classes to expand his career. He focused too much on comedy that feels he is still stuck with SNL. Him as a professional actor has the potential to be a pretty good actor but just needs someone to help him improve. Many actors and actresses like Sophia Coppola realized shes better behind the camera than in front of it.
And you do have actors and actresses that can excell in different genres like Nichelson back in the day. Many people forget one of his 1st movie roles was the plants 1st victim in the original black and white version of little shop of horrors.
@Shane Nas Uncut Gems and Hustle are very well done too, I might like those even more than Reign Over Me now (at least, in some aspects, I wouldn't say they're better performances in every way).
Damn I wish he held out until Uncut Gems came out
I'm gonna pretend that Mr. Deeds and Anger Management are somewhere in the honorable mentions.
I love Mr Deeds
Also Click
@@redmensch101 agreed.
And big daddy and billy madison
Same will Billy Madison
Sooo fun fact... A kid in my class is the kid who takes Sandler’s food in the birthday scene in bedtime stories.
He is actually really kind and gives you food.
That's cool
NY native here, so, one instance I was walking home from Grand Street (lower Manhattan) and I had mistakenly walked right through a supposed movie set/scene, I was listening to my mp3 player (late 2000s) and totally had no idea I just barged on set (you all know the movie). Sandler, who was not in make-up/wardrobe catches up with me, totally nice and professional and asked if I knew who he was, if I was a fan, etc. Legit had a 5-10 min convo kicking the shit before asking his PR to leave me in as an extra. I didn't get paid, nor did I ask or wanted to. Long story short, Sandler is a solid, authentic guy, so it always tickles me to see NC shit on his BAD movies because, yeah, I'm sure Sandler would honestly tell you they were garbage too.
@@ricolorenzi63 that is the coolest story, I love that he seems like such a genuinely sweet dude
@@ricolorenzi63yeah i always figured he just making 90% of those movies as a way of hanging iut and getting his buddies a paycheck while having fun nothing wrong with that
I totally need this today. My dog passed away today and this is exactly what I needed to cheer up. Thank you for posting this.
I wish there was something I could do to help
Blackiecomics I'm sorry.
💖
I am so very, very sorry for your loss
From this list, it seems like Sandler is better at dramatic roles as opposed to comedy roles.
He's good at both, he's just poison when he's on the other side of the camera.
Christopher Hancock *cough* happy Gilmore *cough*
ARE U 2 GUD FUR UR HOMM?!
When his characters are a bit more down to earth (or a father), and not a man child he's good
@@ccggeniusAgreed. It almost feels like when Sandler tries to also write and/or direct, it also detracts from his ability to be a great actor…or to put it bluntly, instead of mastering one thing, he’s half-assing two things that causes the movie to suck.
Click- The most emotional
Billy Madison-One of the funniest
Jack and Jill AND Pixels-The two worst
Keegan Lockhart I’ll admit, growing up, I kinda liked jack and jill
Click was so good and had such a fun although not original concept.
@@user-mp4gz6xs3w Growing up? Um that film came out in 2011. You're still a child if you "grew up" with that film.
I don't dislike Jack and Jill but I agree Pixels isn't very good
I though Pixels was good.
Adam Sandler is a perplexing actor in my opinion. When he's good, he's very good. When he's bad, he's god awful. I love him, but he has such a rollercoaster of a career. So much so, that one of my favorite performances he's done in recent years was a cameo on a Disney channel show, because one of his kids was a big fan. I kinda want him to pursue TV more. No the really bad laugh track comedies, but something on like HBO, where it's a drama with comedic moments.
Is he... bipolar?
When a stepson and I were going to see *Pixels*, regarding if it was good, he shrugged and said, "Hey, it's an Adam Sandler movie." It was only later, when thinking back on the movie, I'd thought how dumb or cringey a lot of it was. But *at the time*, I enjoyed what I was watching and felt entertained. So, mission accomplished, I guess.
In a way I love that about Sandler. He kind of reminds me of Chevy Chase in that sense. He could make truly awful comedies but when he decides to stop and try something different he is excellent. Chase had that just playing his sarcastic constant self but when he abandoned that in the movie Funny Farm I found him to be an excellent comedic actor. Sandler is the same. When he tries stuff like Punch Drunk Love, Uncut Gems Meyrowitz Stories or Hustle he is very, very good. In those roles you wonder how he has not yet been nominated for an Oscar.
How is click not on this list?? It's gotta be at least in the top 11! It was one of the first movies I remember making me actually think after it was over about fast forwarding through life. Perhaps a cliche theme looking at it now that I'm older but it's still probably my favorite Sandler movie
The ending sucked.
That was the first movie my parents watched so it is near and dear to my heart
Ikr?! I mean for god's sake, THE CLIMAX HAD ME TEARING UP FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER X*(! It was the very first movie to give me a tearjerker, and honestly it had a more original concept than what meets the eye- it wasn't just a "remote that forwards time", it came with literal "Universal effects", and had a good strong message about trying to push passed everything you found dull and boring in your life to just enjoy the best moments. That says a lot for a seemingly time-warping-based film ;/!!!
I respect it as one of Sandler’s best, especially in the terms of his more emotional movies that I’ve seen. I think it was more the fact that it was commercialized as a full-fledge comedy movie while the actual movie was a dramady that left a bad taste in the mouths of some of the people who saw it and didn’t like it.
the bullshit twist at the end was terrible and the whole narrative they pushed doesnt make any sense, because adam sandler's character didn't fuck up his whole life by abusing his power, he fucked up his whole life because the remote control did shit adam sandler didnt want it to do.
if the remote control wasnt broken, the film's message wouldnt work because everything would be fine
The creators of the Stardust app are holding the Channel Awesome employees hostage, threatening to kill them unless they promote the app.
yeß
Yeah stardust is garbage
beladen Why? What's wrong with it?
NC: Not only do I think there's 11, I think there will be even more in the future.
Uncut Gems: You have NO idea!!
I hated Uncut Gems. It made me angry and stressed and I don't even know why.
@@SteveDice21 while I thought the film was unsettling to watch, Sandler was arguably the best part about the film
@@SteveDice21 Imo that just means it did what it was trying to do. Stress out the audience as much as possible until it explodes in the finale.
That and Hustle.
Me and my parents were extras on Sandy Wexler. We didn't expect it to be any good, so we never told anyone. However, when I was on set, my (limited) interactions with Adam Sandler were always very pleasant. He may not have been as ready to talk as Nathan Fillion, but Sandler was still a great guy, from what little time I had with him.
Lucky! :-)
I worked in the indusrty for over a decade in the 90's and early Aughts. Sandler was well known for being one of nicest and most generous guys to work for. He was on a short list with guys like Mel Brooks, Tim Allen and George Clooney, who had a reputation for being really good to their crew.
I keep hearing folks say this over and over, and it's soooo nice to hear. Good on Mr. Sandler!
Gamer Raichu My grandmother know Sandler's wife. She was at the premiere of bedtime stories and she said it sucked.
Respect to Mr Walker for trying new things, in my opinion Doug is the last real movie critic who is always reinventing himself without straining away from the movies themselves.. He critiques the movies for what they are, and doesn't just explain the plot of the movies like every single youtube movie reviewer.. Doug is my generations Siskel & Ebert, keep up the great work.. Love from Australia.. I really hope he see's this comment 😌 just to know how people really appreciate his work.
i dont always agree with walker, but when i do i tend to fully endourse him
a few things i dont agree with him on
1: i heavily disagree with his white washing video as its making a big deal out of basically nothing(now adays) and he doesnt fully understand how movies and companies think, you have to keep in mind americans are mostly white with a few other races mixxed in, so it makes sense when you relaly stop and think about it, theres also the fact that his arguement like many others can be dismantled by askign the question, if scarlet got so much hate for taking the major role, why did the black dude who played borma get a free pass, is it not still taking a role away from asians
2: his idea of slap stick, in my opinion this is heavily flawed as in his mind the purist form of comedy is pain at the expense of others, and while this might not be exactly wrong, it should be expanded on by saying that the character should deserve the punishment, that the audience should want that character punished for being stupid or evil, a good example is meg getting hurt vrs. petter getting hurt. ask your self, which do you find funnier, the character who had never done a thing wrong getting abused, or the character who constently acts like an arrogant, self centered asshole getting punished
Are you serious, or sarcastic, cause I can't tell? His whole shtick as the nostalgia critic is literally going through the whole movie while poking fun at it.
And doing it better than anyone else.
Chris Stuckman boring, Cinema Snob confusing, round table reviewers just yes men trying not to contradict one another, AVGN these days has no material, Obscures Lupa too few and far apart, And the list goes on..
He's consistency and work rate set the bar.
Tony L ralphthemoviemaker is pretty good tho
The thumbnail made me think you wrote *"Top II GOOD Adam Sandler Movies"* as in II (2) instead of 11.
Thought it was a joke XD
Same
Mudkip971 Same here xD
Happy Gilmore and Click. LIST OVER. :)
Mudkip971 me too
The 2 Hotel Transylvania movies (end of video)
And his tribute to Chris Farley was incredible. I have mad respect for Adam Sandler
Another Wednesday, a new Nostalgia Critic
Sirplayalot 64 yep
Favorite day to look out for
not in australia
tuesday at Channel Awesome's website
Sirplayalot 64 it is Wednesday my dudes
Anyone else ever hear of Anger Management? I really liked that one for the premise and Sandler’s performance.
It's more of a Jack Nicholson movie than Adam's TBH
Don't know why people rarely talk about that movie and I am honestly surprised of the chemistry between Adam and Jack O.O it was a combination that I didn't think would ever exist or want but now I wish they would do more movies together!!!
Temper is the one thing you can't get rid of by losing it.
Will 2139 [][][] I didn't care for it, just thought it was a bit contrived and the jokes lazy at time. I'm always happy to hear though that people find enjoyment where I don't/didn't. Good on ya man!
"Sarcasm is anger's ugly cousin" ;)
Strangely, I use that one in my head sometimes when I hear myself being sarcastic or passively aggressive, both as real advice and to make me laugh at the situation and get myself out of my head
Surprised Billy Madison and Click are left out, not Oscar worthy by any means but I like them for the same reasons than other movies from this list.
I'm more surprised that I believe there are movies left out in a top 11 Adam Sandler's list :0
Were big daddy at tho
rigamortis is stupid yeah that's another one.. holy shit
JorgEduardorR I loved Billy Madison, though it’s mostly nostalgia. It’s got a good amount of bad jokes, but the jokes he does right are spot on. Assuming you like that type of off the wall humor.
first read the thumbnail as Roman numeral "II" and thought oh Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison. Like it was a joke at how his work went downhill.
Click is good until the end.
If it didnt just end with "this is just a dream" and he did something more to redeem himself, it would be better.
where is SPANGLISH ??
a really GOOD movie of Sandler
agreed!
One thing you failed to note (or notice) about Funny People Critic: When he's dying, the movie is a comedy. When he's better and going to live, it's a drama.
So, you insist on it being an odd but good balance? Yeah, that could solve part of the big question.
I love that balance. It's not odd per se, it's a great use of situational irony. After he talks with Eminem at the bar, I don't think there's more than one joke that gets told
I was bit suprised that Click didn't make the cut.
I was too. It has its stupid moments, but there was a lot of heart to it.
I personally hated Click.
what about the longest yard
Fucking "50 First Dates" makes the cut but "Click" doesn't? Bull!
I cried in the scene where adam's character is going to die in the parking lot of the hospital
I'm surprised Click wasn't on this list. At first when I saw the reviews it didn't look great, but I gave it a watch and I come to find it is actually pretty fun and interesting, and very emotional at times especially the ending. I like the idea of something as simple as a TV remote (Much like how in Back To The Future we have the DeLorean DMC-12 Time Machine) being turned into a Time Controller. I'm guessing it is a good movie in your book but doesn't count towards the Top 11.
OfficialLawGuyUK that’s a great movie
I was thinking that too! I loved that movie! I thought it was one of his greatest movies!
The source material for Click was a Goosebumps novel.
Yeah I agree With you
Actually, Doug Walker doesn’t like that one.
Yup you are right, there's definitely more than 11 good Sandler movies. No Click, Billy Madison or Waterboy on this list.
it kinda goes without saying that they are good movies
Don't forget Anger Management.
I feel that half of his list was just thrown together with shit choices to get people talking. Funny people as the best and Zohan even listed? Either poor taste in movies or to get attention.
@@brad2881 They don't all have to be masterpieces.
Ethan Edwards for a top 10 list the top of the list should have list the obvious best Sandler movies. The list was garbage but at least I didn’t subscribe to see more bullshit like it.
I honestly love 50 First Dates. It sometimes feels like a guilty pleasure, but it's so charming, it's hard to hate it.
I think 50 first dates is the perfect example of a Sandler film and you will like it depending on how tired you are of Sandler, if you discovered it as a kid like I do you will love it but if you discover it right now with an Adam Sandler making crappy film you will just find it mediocre. It's the Sandleriest film of his carrer according to me.
I feel like 50 First Dates is cute on first watch, but after that, the more you think about the whole scenario the creepier and more disturbing it all gets.
It’s funny, I actually got into a debate with an acquaintance of mine in class about Adam Sandler the other day. He was trying to argue that a majority of his recent work is just as funny as his old work, until I dared him to defend “That’s My Boy”... I think I accidentally got him to rethink his entire life after that...
What about Jack and Jill?
Nebuchadnezzar Hekatonkheires We don’t speak of that film in good company!
Nebuchadnezzar Hekatonkheires hey look it’s a blind boi with a hundred hands owo
I liked that's my boy
I will be the first to admit That's My Boy is trash
However, I have it almost entirely memorized because I absolutely love it
I'm just glad that 50 First Dates made the list.
TheAwesomeDarkNinja Same
Woo woo woo *YOU* know it!
50 first dates is probably one of the creepiest movie premises I've ever heard of.
me too,
Anyone notice how when drew barrymore tries playing the 'sexy slut' she looks horrible, but when she plays the sweet person she actually looks amazing?
How can you not add his 3 most famous movies (other than Happy Gilmore)?
Billy Madison
Big Daddy
The Water Boy
He kept showing clips of Water Boy when saying how much he hates Adam Sandler, so I'm guessing he hates that movie for some reason.
Mike R I came in this video excepting them
Tried to watch Big Daddy recently....it's pretty awful. Billy Madison is also pretty bad. Still love Water Boy though.
Mike R exactly but he does add hotel transylvania
Big Daddy is mostly-OK. I had some laughs and didn't hate it, cos I think he and the kid worked well together, and I can see the logic that a slacker man-child would use in dressing up as Scuba Steve to get a little kid he was unexpectedly saddled with to take a bath.
I don't think it's quite as watchable, this many years later, as Airheads, though. I think Airheads generally aged pretty well, and now a lot of the funnier parts of Big Daddy have become a bit awkward, though not necessarily bad.
Ok, I will give you this one. I would not consider all the movies from this list as “good”, but you argued for them in a way that didn’t sound too forced or desperate to convince us. So… yeah, nice job.
Punch drunk and meyerwitz stories are good, don't do that
I think Zohan must have been the main movie meant here.
Hotel Transylvania seriously deserves more praise and recognition.
Obi-Wan Kenobi it's not that great. The animation is pretty, but the scenario is too safe and mostly made of cliches.
Obi-Wan Kenobi i have the high ground
Honestly I enjoyed them a lot as well.
Obi-Wan Kenobi I didn't like those movies
While I think the ending was a cop out, I feel it's one of those films that's good, but could have been so much more with just a little more depth. For what's there though, it's pretty good. It's honestly one of those films where I think if it was recut with maybe an extra scene or two to add a little more emotional weight, and bam. Timeless classic.
I always liked 'Click' as well.
Twigryph me too!
man that movie got me right in the feels.
Same here. I like the message in the film and the acting is at least decent.
I liked Jonah hills cameo in click
It had more heart than I thought it would
I never knew people didn't like Adam Sandler until recently. My parents love Sandler and we watched his stuff all the time. I feel like he's over hated.
He's one of those actors with wild inconsistent shifts in work, when he's on point he's fantastic when he isn't it's the worst shit possible
@@stuvvi That's true
same here! ive literally never heard of people hating him until i came cross this channel, i get it but stil love his work.
He’s overheated for some bad movies and yes there have been some but he is far too underrated as a serious actor. Punch Drunk Love Uncut Gems and Hustle have all been Oscar worthy performances from him.
Why do we not have an Adam Sandler month?
do it
you can do iiit
Really no Click or Spanglish?? What about Big Daddy or Water Boy or The Longest Yard?? ..Huh.
Water Boy and Big Daddy maybe. The rest are bad.
I forgot all about Big daddy... wait why wasn’t that higher? Or for that matter anger management?
The Longest Yard SHOULD have been in that list, what a shame. Yet his choices are really great!
Felipe Turriago Longest yard is good actually
Chuck and Larry
No honorable mention of Click or Anger Management
I love Anger Management. Always made me laugh.
My unpopular opinion: Bedtime Stories is underrated.
The TH-cam channel or the movie? I am probably asking a stupid question.
@@simiccombinefanatic331 movie
True
I do like the movie
The Chosen One THANK YOU
5:25 Wait is that shadow of the colossus? Didn't think i'd see that here.
Yes. There is a scene where the two main characters are playing the game and a very good scene to be honest.
Yeah I saw the movie in theaters and it's like the only game he plays throughout the movie.
It's a good game to be your only game.
Rolyat Unless you’re trying the 3rd Colossus on Hard Time Attack, That part in the game is the definition of insanity.
Also the reason why they are playing that game is because the premise of that game is the main character is trying to bring back his dead love interest.
I'm gonna use The Black Tux so I can finally play football in the alley with my friends. Thanks, Critic!
Connor Keddington hahaha what a story connor
“Anyway, how’s your sex life?”
I'm surprised not to see Click make the list
Agreed
Meat Beat I’m not
Good parts are really good, bad parts are really bad. As with any Sandler film. That being said the good parts should've catapulted this movie into the top 8
Dude click is my favorite movie by sandler. Literally one of the only movies that ever brought tears to my eyes. Really let down to see that click didnt make this list.
I'm surprised Big Daddy wasn't here either. That movie also made me cry, especially the scene where Julian gets taken away by the social worker.
I am deeply upset that big daddy isn't on this list
Thank you
i am seriously disappointed that click didn't even make the list Adams performance was spot on a man wanting to fast forward through life finally gets what he wants and then having that power screws up his life he gets divorced estranged from his kids (to get rekindled later on) and puts on one of the saddest performances where his son and daughter are crying over him plus you have Christopher walkins as the freaking angel of death
TheOmega099 ikr, I actually liked that movie
I actually like it too but I do feel like it runs a bit too long. Like to the point where the message gets kind of redundant.
I'm also surprised that Punch Drunk Love wasn't on here.
When I was younger I used to like an Adam Sandler movie called Bedtime Stories
Chicken Pie My trainer liked that movie as well. He would gladly watch it again.
Better than Zohan
It's juvenile, but as a kid, the movie was one of my faves.
Chicken Pie I liked it, me and my sister grew up watching it, now that I'm 15 and growing into my own, it's a wierd mix of nostalgia and good and bad stuff, I don't know where I stand on it. I thought the comedy was great, like in the stories when the kids say something and it happens, like with the gumballs, that still makes me laugh to this day because it's so weird
Through the commercials, that was the first time I’d ever heard of Adam Sandler. In hindsight, I’m amazed he at one point made a DISNEY film.
The fact that the comments are filled with "But what about this movie?" makes me pretty happy.
I too like Big Daddy, Anger Management, and Click. Also liked The Cobbler, Bedtime Stories, and Mr. Deeds. Sure, they aren't incredible movies but they're enjoyable comedies.
It's nice to see Adam Sandler actually get props once in a while. It's the in thing to bash on him all the time but I feel like he's made a lot of fun movies. They're not all Jack and Jill and Eight Crazy Nights.
I also liked the Cobbler quite a bit, I wonder if we're going to get a sequel as they teased it pretty hard at the end there.
A lot of people rip on Adam Sandler as a "hack," but the dude can act.
OroCrimson Does no one like "The Longest Yard"? I loved it
Oh I forgot that one. That's a good one too.
i love 8 crazy nights lol gotta watch that on Christmas time
Well, reading the comments, there seems to be fans of Eight Crazy Nights aswell. Still haven't seen any Jack and Jill fans though.
50 first dates is my favourite Sandler movie. The ending gets me right in the feels every time
Now do top 11 best Nicholas Cage movies.
All of them
Lol, I was just thinking about commenting that XD
The best Nicholas Cage movie is EVERY NICHOLAS CAGE MOVIE
Could you fit every movie he's ever done in a list of 11???
Has he done a top 11 for best Robin Williams movies?
Umm WHAT????? I had no idea that Hotel Trannsylvania was an Adam Sandler movie. I absolutely adore that movie.
BetaWolf47 I could tell from the start Kevin James, Steve Buscemi, and Adam Sandler basically made grown ups with monsters.
He played a role and (I think) was a producer. The rest was Tartakovsky and some other writers. I consider Hotel Transylvania to be a Genndy Tartakovsky movie more than an Adam Sandler movie by far.
Angel Albano I had no clue until nostalgia critic's Halloween top 11s. It's the top 11 new Halloween classics I think
Shanethefilmmaker I'd say more of a spot on Bela Lugosi impression than Dracula since so many good actors from the late great Christopher Lee and Gary Oldman did great takes on the character.
Yeah!
I always enjoyed Billy Madison...
one of my guilty pleasures
I enjoy it as well, but I know it’s not a good movie. lol. It does have some truly memorable quotes though! “I award you no points... and may God have mercy on your soul.”
"suntan lotion is gooooood fooorr meee! ultraviolet rays bad! lotion good! *makes rasberry noises* smiley!"

Uncut Gems : "May I come in ?"
Im REALLY shocked that Anger Management and Big Daddy didnt make it to this list
Thank you! I thought I was the only one. Big Daddy especially is probably my favorite of his.
Arosukir6 legit. I mean I'm not a huge Adam Sandler fan but Big Daddy was the first movie of his I saw that made me go "alright well this is believable, it's got that 90s feel to it, and it's got good supporting roles." Maybe this flew under the critics radar or something.
You are not alone here. Anger Management was crazy and funny with him playing across from Jack Nicholson, and it made Sandler a star all over again.

Man, remember that RedLetterMedia Jack and Jill review where they break down Adam Sandlers weird pyramid scheme, where he syphons money for shitty movies into his own and his friends pockets?
Caped Champion who doesn't do that? Uwe Boll is infamous for it, hell, ' the producers' movie Lampoons the idea. Until you close loopholes people going to make poor movies.

Little Nicky is a guilty pleasure of mine. It's dumb as fuck, it's pretty offensive and lowbrow as all hell....but I don't know, I always enjoyed the way Hell was crafted for a comedy and seeing the use of Nicky and his brothers' powers for mischief and heroism has always been entertaining or funny to me.
Looking at his list as well as some of the lists of others, most of his movies are guilty pleasures of mine.
Same here!
Not going to lie, I liked it when it came out.
Heck, its one of the few films I have on dvd for him. Its just so stupid I cant help but be entertained.
MagicSpartan Same here, Little Nicky is one of those so dumb it's good movies.
Can i play football in this tux though? You all know what i'm talking about
Геннадий Григорьев
Cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep
Hahahaha, what a story, Геннадий .
Ha ha ha, let's go home....
+Геннадий Григорьев That's the only way to play football
Channel Awesome if a lot of people play this way, the world would be a better place to live
For me Little Nicky was the ultimate " so stupid its funny movie"
Popaye's chicken is the shizzznit!
_Little Nicky_ is my personal favorite Sandler movie.It's stupid, and I'll be the first to admit that it is, but the soundtrack, the cameos.the _super_ quotable dialogue...it's so good.
I unironically love Little Nicky. I know it may not be a "good" movie but it makes me laugh harder than it probably should.
The ending with Ozzy was awesome.
Also, "click" i agree was very emotional. And I also kinda took it as a metaphor for substance abuse. For example, when you use for a long time then you get clean there is a moment when you realize "wow, 7 years of my life have just gone by... Wtf happened? How could I let my life become this?" And it really hits home for me because not only am I a recovering addict but I also am a licensed CDCA so my career is focused on helping others recovering from addiction. And I see so many connections to chronic substance abuse and that movie. Especially the sad parts. Like seeing how fast your life fell apart and how you barley know your loved ones anymore and how your children grow up so fast.... It's just all so very deep to me . But, I generally love any movie he does (with a few exceptions)... Adam Sandler we love your sillyness!!☺️ Don't listen to the haters!
Big Daddy is one of my favorite movies with him in it.
"I wipe my own ass!"
when I was your age I used to be able to eat anything and not gain an ounce. Now I have a chocolate shake and my ass jiggles for like two weeks.
Was honestly surprised it wasn't on this list
I cried
“Kangaroo song Kangaroo song KANGAROO SONG!!
“Alright!!! God you were normal yesterday”
one thing I wish the Critic mentioned here was that the You Dont Mess with the Zohan was actually based off of a real person, and while the movie, obviously, was over exaggerated, people who knew the man personally said that Sandler's performance was actually pretty accurate. which shouldnt come as a surprise since Sandler actually met the guy and hung out with him for a while before filming so he could get his mannerisms down and work with him as a hairstylist.
Master Dog I awayls thought that movie was a fever dream
The guy he played in _Punch Drunk Love_ was based on a real guy, too :)
Adam Sandler is a great actor, it's just his choice of movies to be in isn't always great.
Personally, I think Bedtime Stories is underrated
MegaSoulHero my favorite is little Nicky or billy madison
except to Disney channel standards...
MegaSoulHero he might do in in disneycember.
StrawhatPrime he did.
MegaSoulHero I totally agree with you
So basically
Hotel Transylvania is trash for critics
But actually great/good for normal people
1st was alright
2nd alright
3rd meh
You act like normal people don't criticize films.
When I started being critical of the media that I watched and studying what makes good content good, I started enjoying it way more.
@@finleynicholas8534 right on spot
@@dinodare1605 what i meant "critics" are the corrupt and rigged ones
@@bluetaigax1747
Not liking the things that you like makes critics corrupt?!?
people are angry at Sandler's performance these days because they love him and want to see him perform a great performance again
No Click on the list? Really?
Ya that should be in the top 5
I thought it'd be up there too.
I was hoping Big Daddy to be on this list
I'm honestly a bit more surprised on no Billy Madison myself.
Probably because Billy Madison is terrible.
"The 80s are everywhere now"
I find that adults are obsessed with the time period they grew up in, and that has always been the case. Back in the 80s, adults were obsessed with the 50s and 60s with surfing making a big comeback, movies like Back to the Future, bands like the Tomcats, etc.
@pkay-chu I sure as hell am "brings back nu-metal" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Back to the future 2 was smart enough to predict that we would miss the 80's by 2015
@pancakes I already am.
And the Wedding Singer was made in 1998.
But it's not just adults though - I mean sure it's more leaning toward 90s culture now - but a lot of 80s fashion and 80s music are worn and listened to by teens. Think about it: Stranger Things, Drive and basically all of the crap movie remakes of today are based around the 80s!
If you want examples of kids liking 50s stuff around the time of the 80s look at Grease, look at IT - and as mentioned before BACK TO THE FUTURE which is an incredible example.
In essence it's very likely that in 20 years people will look at either the 2000s or the 2010s for fashion and music.
If you waited until 2019 this would be a top 12 films including Uncut Gems
Seriously? No Click? Well, that's disappointing. Click and 50 First Dates are really the only two Adam Sandler movies I love. Click is probably one of my all-time favorites, too, due to how much it both made me laugh AND made me cry. I can't believe it's not on your list.
Tailslover13 key words:Really the only two Adam S. movies *I* love. I can't believe it's not on *your* list.
click is so bad its ridiculous how bad it is
Click was horrendous
we expected to have a fun family movie only to find out we couldnt watch it because it was full of curse words.
henkdachief That doesent make the movie bad
Awww man, why not Click?!
I mean yeah, Click had potty humor, a cheesy premise, but the ending was heartwarming and it had a great lesson to it.
Kinda surprised about Click not being here but it got n honorable mention sorta I guess. It's still a really good list.
Bad Dragonite Another Dragonite!
i will agree that despite its flaws and sometimes less than ideal humor, click was a good watch and at times was quite sad but also at times quite disturbing and morbid. it was a side of Sandler that i hadn't seen up until then as i was born at the time of his less desirable movies and as such painted a beautiful light on how amazing he can be. because of it, despite his flaws and bad choices in movies as the years have past i have a lingering respect for him in many places as i can say that he is an amazing actor and as the years have rolled by much like poetry my enjoyment of his sadder films have become bitter sweet.
What about Billy Madison
Where is click?!?! That movie was amazing
Turns out reviewers hate the film
I know
That movie made be tear up at the end 😂 (don’t judge I’m a emotional person)
IKR I love Click !!!!
@@ghastly8128 I'm not even emotional but same happened to me damn Adam sandler is good
wait wait wait, no Click? I mean, the comedy is as dumb as it gets, but those last 20 mins feels like having you heart ripped out of your chest
i actually felt that the comedy worked
The comedy worked at times with Click, but the emotional core is there, and Christopher Walken's casting was chillingly perfect. Click's a guilty pleasure for me, and I'm sad to see it's not at least at #11
replace freaking Zohan with Click and it would be perfect.
It seems even sadder now because Delores O'Riordan sang at the Son's wedding sometime between 2020 and 2024
And now that can't happen since she is deceased
No honorable mention to Click? That has a lot of heart.
It was in the Stardust part.
Buc Reviewer, much newer than other ones mentioned. And that's not the point, the point is best acting. Click is a nice movie, coulda been in the 10th, 9th, 8th position at least.
Helgali not sure what that first part means. But Click was in the Stardust part.
I think he's said before that he doesn't like that movie. Probably not a fan of dog-humping.
Must be the "farting at David Hasselhoff in the face" part.
how could you not put anger management and click on the list? click had Christopher walken as the angel of death and jack Nicholson as a therapist and both those movies where great! funny and emotional.
I would call Anger Management his 12th best. But Click is arguably my favourite.
The idea is that it's Adam Sandler's best. The problem with Anger Management on that regard, is that its best moments involve the balance of both Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson, and not just Adam. I feel like if Jack weren't involved, the movie would have suffered.
Billy Madison
The Waterboy
Bulletproof with Damon Wayans and James Caan
I still like 50 first dates even if it's weird and cringy. Hotel Transylvania 1 and 2 are great too.
Same! I've got a soft spot for that movie.
I think its his best movie tbh even Rob Schneider is actually funny in it
Lizafoot For5 I love that 50 first dates and hotel Transylvania
Lizafoot For5 and i hope ht3 will be good too because I’m worried it might hated upon because you tuber saberspark says it’s a mediocre movie with crude humor and fart jokes
I think the movie Click should have been somewhere on this list. My roommate says Water Boy should have been as well.
Eevee09876 I liked Click. It is my favorite Adam Sandler.
The worst list is coming next right?
worst 11 or just all other movies in alphabetical order?
Ik he didn't I was just throwing it out there as an idea.
I think we already know what's on that list.
id love that.
I think he won't do it.
in my opinion jack and jill is the beat adam sandler movie
"sarcasm"
Surprised Click wasn't anywhere on the list. That was a film that legit made me shed tears.
It was in the Stardust part.
I found it very mean-spirited and melodramatic.
Click is so bad, it got "referenced" in Epic Movie
What's your favorite Adam Sandler movie?
waterboy water sucks. Gatorade.
Channel Awesome Happy Gilmore. Not a great film but a really hilarious ride.
+simon garcia nevermind forgot about Little Nicky is my favorite
Channel Awesome happy Gilmore
50 First Dates
If Click is not on this list, I'm going to be upset
EDIT:
*I'm Upset*
Same.
Was genuinely expecting it to be No. 1.
i was too as well
So, I know it's not popular to say, but That's My Boy really made me laugh.
Adam Sandler is such a genuinely fascinating person. He has such massive talent when he plays more serious roles, yet would prefer to act in shitty, immature, garbage films
LaughS0L0ud maybe he doesn't like being a part of the Hollywood drama so he does what just makes him happy.
it's really no different than how most of us want to work...just easier to work with a well-established formula and process and with the same people you've been working with than it is to take risks, try new things and work with new people. Especially when it relates to trying to make a "work of art," I know it's cliche and corny to say but good art is painful sometimes.
I'm really surprised not to see Bid daddy or even Click, while they can have flat jokes and cringey at some parts, they're both heart warming, funny at some parts and the acting was really good. Especially click, I was crying at the scene where Adam Sandlers character has to see the last moment with his dad and could do nothing about it.
Agreed, that scene tore me apart lol. I do love Click. Under rated in my opinion.
_"I love you son..."_
The McDonald's scene in Big Daddy is awful.
I didn’t like big daddy
Alex Plaza I was just watching that today. The scene where he runs out of hospital in the rain to tell his son “family comes first” before dying was like a punch to my heart
Mr. Deeds and the waterboy were pretty good.
Completely agree on Mr. Deeds
Yea I agree
Forgot about Waterboy
I agree, their innocent enough
i just recently found out that mr. deeds is a remake.
Honestly one of my favorite Sandler flicks is Mr Deeds. Yes it’s cliche as hell; but I can’t help but love it. “You underestimate the Sneakiness”
He really loves the big bacon classic
No Click but you included Zohan?
If Click didn't press the reset button at the end, it would have been an episode of Black Mirror
Agreed. Zohan is terrible and Click is passable. Still, good list and reasoning overall. Punch-Drunk Love would be my #1 based on his acting in his films.
No big daddy but funny people is on too
I agree. Click may not be original (when I first saw it, all I could think was that it ripped off a Goosebumps episode) but it was much more well done than Zohan.
i like zohan but i think click is better
Happy Gilmore is one of those comedies that can still make me laugh even with it's cliches and the fact that I've seen it many times before. I can't think of a lot of movies I've seen that can pull that off.
Reign over me probably also has one of the best portrayals of a videogame in a movie.
I got to say that me and my dad went to the Chase Center to watch the Warriors playing basketball against the Pacers, and while that way happening, my dad and I saw Adam Sandler on the Jumbo Tron and it was awesome, no pun intended, to see Adam at the Warriors game and I heard that he was going to do a concert/comedy show on December 6th, AKA today! So, I guess it's all just some weird coincidence to say the least...he really does look like a cool guy as well!
*Billy Madison is my first Adam Sandler movie*
Same here.
Billy Madison is one of funniest movies of all time.
Sameeeeee I watched it with my grandma still love it
Don't Mess with the Zohan was a even more hilarious movie for me only because my Christian family desided this is what our FAMILY movie was that night.
The cringe was real. Plus, it's a damn funny movie!
Nicole Olivier it’s a FAMILY picture... wait, NO IT’S NOT!!!
Oh, shit! You, too?! My parents were appalled, but I fucking loved Zohan!
I’m shocked that billy Madison isn’t in their
NeverSaySandwich1 Or The Longest Yard.
The Do-Over on Netflix is also good when the hidden plot is revealed.
Anyone who didn't think he could get to 11 are ignorant of Sandlers talent. He's a genius. He's just a lazy as all fuck genius.Never have I seen an actor who puts out as many flops as him still get backhandedly complimented while being panned. I hear all the time how, after putting out a bad work, people say how he's wasting his talent. Not that he's talentless or that he's lost his touch, but that he isn't USING the gifts that he certainly does have. He's arguably the most respected consistently panned actor I've ever seen because of people saying things like that. And I have to kind of agree. His good movies (specifically the comedies as I haven't seen some of the few dramatic stuff he's done that was on this list) have me tearing up from laughing so much. I feel like I can't accept someone capable of what he's done simply being "not funny anymore" as much as it is him just not trying and/or caring anymore.
I hope he finds his "muse" again someday.
Ya he's basically been scamming hollywood for the last 15 years. He leverages his name and fame to get massive budgets for films then makes cheap horrible movies and uses most of the budget to pay himself and his friends ludicrous salaries. Hollywood doesn't care though because his movies still made money.
When he finally had a few flops and couldn't get them to hand over 80 million dollars to pay himself and his friends he hopped over to netflix ;p
Let’s be real, though. If somebody offered you 80 million dollars to goof around with your buddies while half-assing [whatever your talent is], instead of putting in the substantial amount of effort to improve your talent and make far less money doing so, you’d most likely do it at least once or twice (I sure would). I don’t like seeing anyone waste their talent, but I can certainly see why he does it.
I’m reminded of Michael Caine’s quote, when someone asked him if he’d seen Jaws 4, an absolutely horrible movie he acted it. “No, but I’ve seen the house it paid for, and it’s beautiful”.
I absolutely would, but i also assumed that he became a comedian/actor because he was apssionate about it. This isn't a 9-5 job that you have to do to make ends meet. This is, i assume, his dream job. How many people cna claim to be doing their dream job and doing what they love for a living? And he's stupid rich and famous ontop of that. THAT'S why it's sad. Yeah, most anybody would take 80 mil to dick around and not really try. I'm just picturing him wasting his dream is all.
That and, as i said, I respect his talent. I'd personally like him to be remembered fondly and not as a has been.
Big Daddy, Click, and The Longest Yard deserve to be on this list, I'm curious about your thoughts on any of all of these movies
TBH I think The Longest Yard. Was only watchable because. Terry Crews & Bob Sapp where so hilarious.
How was Click not on here?
In the Beyond section.
My favorite Adam Sandler film is the 2005 remake of The Longest Yard. That's definitely a phone worth checking out.
Didn't he bang the late Cloris Leachman (RIP) who played Phyllis on the Mary Tyler Moore Show in that film? LOL!!!
Has an Adam Sandler and Nicholas Cage movie ever happened?
Can you imagine it?...
The energy, the constant noise, the never ending things the two would do and say to one another
Hmm yeah.. I also seem to recall they held up a monistary of buda monks to...
It'd be the new John Carpenter's "They Live"...
I think the universe would implode if they ever met in one place
Throw in Christopher Walken and Willem Dafoe in there too, just for funsies
I want Sandler and cruise together or him in a drama
I thought *Click* was pretty good. It had an interesting premise, and the ending was unexpectedly sad.
Sad? Didn't it have a feel good ending?
Demon Eyes yes but it the sad parts in it that really hits you hard.
teckworks that movie scared the shit out of me when I was younger
Honestly, I hated Click because here's the big thing.... Click is a movie that's full of all these dumb jokes and he slows down women running so he can stare at their boobs and changes his skin color and stuff and has all of this fart joke level stuff. But then it goes right into something that's not just dark, it's uncomfortably dark. There's a point in this movie where we watch a morbidly obese man start dying because he can't see his son do something while he's on life support. Adam Sandler is just living his life to death in just this incredibly depressing way.
So it's really challenging and nihilistic and just unpleasant to get through. But whenever you want to get to that scene, you have to go through all these low brow jokes and cheap gags and those two things could not go together worse. It's sort-of like the Trigun problem where it's awkward to sit through the early comedy after knowing how deep and serious the rest of the series is, but here it's just made so much worse because it's a much higher extreme in both directions and it's all condensed down to a single movie.
those dumb jokes is pretty realistic to anyone who got their hands on a remote to control their lives. yes there the fart level stuff but can you honestly tell me you won't use the slow down or rewind or color change buttons just to see what they do? yes it goes dark but that was the point. the guy who gave him the remote wanted him to learn a lesson about what is really important and about life in general. something he clearly needed to learn. though the low brow stuff was a bit much,especially the making of scene but it also what you expect lol. which is why it is in there.
dang, I underestimated sandler... consider my interest piqued
