Adam Sandler:
(instead of putting a lot of '>'s between some movies, I decided to do this in tiers.


1st Tier (Great):
Reign Over Me > Billy Madison > Punch-Drunk Love

2nd Tier (Good):
Funny People > Spanglish >>> Big Daddy > Anger Management >>>>>> The Longest Yard

3rd Tier (Watchable):
Happy Gilmore >> The Wedding Singer > Bedtime Stories

4th Tier (Bad):
8 Crazy Nights >> Mr. Deeds > Little Nicky >>>> You Don't Mess With The Zohan >> Grown Ups

5th Tier (Unwatchable):
Click > 50 First Dates >>>>>>>>>> The Waterboy

Yeah, I don't get this one either. No Country for Old Men is much better film, and the characters are so well developed.. Anton Sugar is like one of the most twisted antagonists the Coen Brothers have ever written. True Grit pales in comparison if you ask me.

Call it, friendo.

The Waterboy is sooo much better than nearly everything else you've listed. Just a funny dumb Adam Sandler movie.

Happy Gilmore should be closer to the top...

Nicholas Cage

Raising Arizona > Valley Girl > Matchstick Men > Lord of War > Vampire's Kiss > The Rock > Moonstruck > Wild at Heart > Con Air > 8MM > Face Off > Next > Gone in Sixty Seconds > Ghost Rider > Kick Ass > The Bad Lieutenant > The Family Man > National Treasure > Knowing > The Sorcerer's Apprentice > Bangkok Dangerous > Season of the Witch > The Wicker Man

I dream to have seen this many Cage films.

Bravo! :)

Really dude? The Waterboy is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The only scene I enjoyed was the part with the Roy Orbison tattoo.

Chigur?

Anyways that one was see-sawey, so today it just as well could be NCFOM as True Grit. I still want to see A Serious Man. Oh, and The Big Lebowski. How the hell have I not seen The Big Lebowski?

For me, it's really good in a really bad way. Others might feel differently, honestly, but at least he was young when he did that stupid movie. Rating it lower than 50 First Dates? Yuck! Talk about boring...
