Adam Sandler Movies: Where to Watch
The Adam Sandler movies in our catalogue, best known first, and which of them are on Netflix in the United States today.
NetflixMovies.com Checked on
A grown man who has not quite grown up is the part Adam Sandler keeps coming back to. Comedy runs through most of these films, often with romance close beside it. 50 First Dates puts a marine veterinarian in Hawaii opposite a woman who forgets him by morning. Sport shapes a few of the others, and so does animation. Not every title is built for laughs, either. Uncut Gems is a crime thriller with no comedy in it, and Punch-Drunk Love carries its romance as drama.
The order runs newest first and takes in the whole filmography, so a title belongs whether or not it is on Netflix in the United States today. What every film here has in common is his name in the credits, nothing more.
Uncut Gems comes from Benny Safdie, with Julia Fox alongside Adam Sandler. Sandler plays a jeweler in New York's Diamond District who owes his brother-in-law money and has a basketball star asking to borrow a rare black opal. At the center of Punch-Drunk Love is a Los Angeles novelty supplier hemmed in by seven sisters. Paul Thomas Anderson directs, with Emily Watson and Philip Seymour Hoffman in the cast. Happy Gilmore has Dennis Dugan directing and Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald on screen. Its hero cannot skate, so he takes his swing to the pro golf tour to cover his grandmother's IRS bill. Big Daddy, also from Dugan, is on Netflix in the United States today, and it hands Sandler a five-year-old who arrives at his apartment.
