Adam Sandler, a true man of funny. With his own production company, Happy Madison, he can now produce just about any movie he wants. Throughout his life, he has had some bumps in the road and some of his acting gigs were downright ridiculous, but he's also had some award winning performances. In honor of his laugh-itude, here are his top five movies.

1. The Water Boy (1998)

Adam Sandler was a classic as he played Bobby Boucher, a 31 year old man living with his over protective mother in the swamps of Louisiana. He takes a job as a water boy for a college football team. They all make fun of him and on some accounts, terrorize him. The coach encourages him to remain passive about it and that's what he does. That is until a new coach takes his plays and tells Bobby to stick up for himself.

With the vice president on his tail trying to bring him down and him having the hots for his third grade teacher, not only does he have to complete these grades but show his father the nobility he has. His school friends are behind him 100% and no one can stop him from the ultimate prize.

3. Little Nicky (2000)

This sinful pleasure of a movie stars Adam Sandler as Nicky, the son of Satan. Satan is falling apart and someone needs to take his place fast. Nicky's brothers, Adrian and Cassius think they deserve the job but Nicky believes that they will destroy it. Adrian and Cassius run off into New York, causing a ruckus.
