Adam Sandler is freaking treat. I mean he’s got the best comic timing and his sense of humor speaks to everyone. His movies are guaranteed to make you laugh, even when you’re having the shittiest day. They are the most watched movies in my queue, which probably says a lot about my days.

But today, on his birthday, we need to celebrate this legend in the making, and we gotta do it the right way, by watching movies that have a very Sandler-feel…

1. 50 First Dates

It’s a rom-com, but don’t zone out yet, because it’s one of the nicest movies ever. I doubt such niceness exists in the world anymore, but he makes me believe in it. He’s this adorable man, in love with a girl who has amnesia. He literally reminds her everyday of their love and how important they are to each other. I fell in love with him like 50 times, so I bet Drew Barrymore did too.

 

2. Reign Over Me

This is one of his most renowned films in a serious role. It was like a test of his capabilities as an actor. With this film, he proved that he can do ‘serious’ just as well as ‘funny’. He’s a man who loses everything when the Twin Towers collapse.

 

3. Mr Deeds

I love this movie. It’s my go to happy movie. It shows that nice people don’t get walked over all the time and that karma does exist. And guess what? Adam Sandler makes the most convincing nice person ever.

 

4. Blended

Barrymore and Sandler unite in this one and it’s pure magic. It’s a realistic story, with two sets of families trying to blend in, with each other, because their parents are falling for each other. And all of this, in the backdrop of Africa.

 

5. Waterboy

He’s a sheltered little boy, who lost his dad of dehydration. Now in some weird twist, he becomes a waterboy for a football team. He’s bullied by the whole team, but refuses to stand up for himself, because his mom might not approve.

 

6. Big Daddy

It’s a really stirring movie about how a kid can turn your life around, even when it isn’t yours. Adam Sandler does full justice to the role of Sonny and the bond between him and the kid is spot on.

 

7. Grown Ups

This movie is written by Adam Sandler, so clearly he’s multi talented! It’s a story about high-school friends who won a championship and proved their metal, super inspired by their coach. When their coach dies, they reunite and it’s all sorts of funny.

 

8. The Wedding Singer

You might remember the Bollywood version of this. Salman Khan and Rani Mukherjee falling in love in Kahin Pyaar Na Ho Jaye. Well, the original movie, starring Adam Sandler is in another league. It’s a feel good movie, something you should watch if you’ve lost your faith in love.

 

9. You Don’t Mess With The Zohan

You can’t talk about Adam Sandler, without mentioning this movie. It’s the shizz, a total cult following for sure. It’s straight up there with The Dictator! A fake death, dreams of being a hairstylist and lots of laughs, it has everything.

 

10. Just Go With It

Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler in one movie, that’s the dream. It’s about a man who can’t help but lie, about everything. He gets himself an imaginary family, all to get a girl. But turns out the girl he loved, was the one he never lied to.

 

11. Click

A fantasy comedy, which would make it to everyone’s must-watch list. What would you do if you found a remote to control your life? Fastforward break-ups, rewind good times and pause disasters. But Adam Sandler shows us what we really miss out on, so much so that, you’re forced to ask yourself if it’s really worth it?

 

12. Bedtime Stories

Adam Sandler reads stories to his niece and nephew, proving how amazing he would be as a dad. But soon realizes that the stories the kids make up, actually come true. It’s as if the stories play out in real life. It’s really cute!

So purge out on your couch and start your playlist, it’s time to celebrate his birthday the right way!
