Spotlight on Sandler: Our 4 Favorite Adam Sandler Movies on Netflix
“I’ve loved every movie I’ve made,” Adam Sandler once said, reflecting on his 34-year film career, and this year’s winner of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor has plenty of company.
The man tabbed in 2022 by Guinness World Records as the highest-grossing comedy movie star is also that rare double threat who is acclaimed for both comic and dramatic performances.
