Adam Sandler, one of Hollywood’s most polarising yet enduring stars, has had a career spanning over three decades—marked by box office hits, critical disasters, and a few unexpected triumphs. Here's a ranking of his films from worst to best, tracing the comedic icon’s journey through highs, lows, and everything in between.

Sandler’s early successes like Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, and The Wedding Singer remain cult favourites, celebrated for their absurd humour and nostalgic charm. However, fans are unflinching in their criticism of several projects from his Netflix era. Films such as The Ridiculous 6, The Do-Over, and Jack and Jill are said to be among his worst, widely panned for lazy writing and recycled gags.

In contrast, the actor’s dramatic turns receive high praise. Uncut Gems leads the pack as Sandler’s most critically acclaimed performance an intense thriller that shattered perceptions of his range. The Meyerowitz Stories and Hustle also rank highly, cementing his reputation beyond slapstick comedy.

Adam Sandler's career is defined by unpredictability—where creative risk sometimes paid off in brilliance, and other times, faltered spectacularly. Through it all, Sandler has remained a pop culture constant, defying conventional stardom with every role.
