Billy MadisonTo me, Adam Sandler has experienced the kind of drop in status that is usually reserved for disgraced athletes and the odd hobo that used to be a CEO. So it may come as a surprise to some that one of his movies is held in such high regard by someone. But this guy used to be the funniest - and to a lot of people who loooooove the smell of their own farts, he still is - and Billy Madison is easily his funniest and best.
Switching gears for a second, just think about the recent pure shit Adam Sandler has been involved with over the last 10 years: I Now Pronounce you Chuck and Larry, Click, Shitty movie about 9/11 with Don Cheadle, Allen "Human Garbage Factory" Covert, Grandma's Boy, go as far back as Mr. Deeds. The guy is on a shit streak so long it would take a thousand dogs dragging their asses over a thousand miles of carpet to even start to rival it.
Come to think of it, was Adam Sandler ever good? Besides Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore and SNL I don't really think so. You know what he is good at? Writing silly songs and saying jibberish with a funny voice - I guess those things were just way hotter in the 90's.
Memorable Quote: Dog on TV: Speak for yourself, Moron!
Billy Madison: Ha ha ha, oh my GOD that is funny!
Reason to see it: It's one of the only movies (along with Kindergarten Cop) with kids that are not annoying and actually sometimes funny. Plus despite what I said earlier Sandler is wicked funny. Also Pete Sampras' wife is really hot. Also there's a penguin.

A few stray observations:
1. Classic movie where the kids (almost) outshine the star: SCHOOL OF ROCK
2. Grandma's Boy gets funnier every time I see it. (Though I did HATE it upon first viewing.) It's an evil cult that draws you in. And c'mon, that scene where he's eating everything in Grandma's fridge? That's comedy right there.
"I'm gonna eat you, and you, and I dunno what the fuck you are, but I'm gonna eat you too."
"Of COURSE she doesn't have a microwave, she's fucking 100."
All that said, Sandler wasn't actually IN the movie, he just produced it, so I don't think it's fair to file this under his epic mountain of shit.
3. I love the smell of my own farts. But that's neither here nor there.
Truly rude taking potshots at the great sandu. Let us not forget how funny Waterboy, Wedding Singer were and what a good flick Punch Drunk Love was.
Grow up.
allen covert rules dude. he was the hobo caddy in happy gilmore, and he wore the jackson glove in wedding singer.
Listen Cole, Wedding Singer is just ok, Waterboy is a pile of shit and I don't really lump Punch Drunk Love in with the regular Sandler flicks. I said he had good days on SNL let's leave it at that.
oh and Addy, Grandma's Boy is the worst movie I've ever seen I hate everything about it. And that should address whoever the fuck anonymous #2 guys is.
