any top 3 Adam Sandler movie list that does not have Happy Gilmore on it, is 100% incorrect.
also, Pixels was pretty average, if even that.
and by Adam Sandler movie, I mean Adam Sandler movie. Not counting flicks like Spanglish, Punch Drunk Love etc.
I loved Happy Gilmore, but objectively speaking it's not that great. I would say Wedding Singer is the best "Adam Sandler" movie if we are going to exclude his quality films.
Wedding Singer has wider appeal, it's better writing, and it has great music, IMO. Happy Gilmore was great because I was 13. I still think it's pretty good, I just don't think it's as great as everyone says. It doesn't hold up like Tommy Boy and other comedies I consider all-time classics. Every damn thing I laughed at in Tommy Boy at age 13 is still funny to me now.
