Adam Sandler Makes the List

Happy Gilmore (1996)

Happy Gilmore is a failed hockey player with no direction in life. His grandmother is evicted from her house for her failure to pay back taxes, and his girlfriend has left him. He makes it on to the pro golf tour with the hope of making some money to save his grandmother's house, but is challenged by the favorites on the tour (Shooter McGavin).

Happy Gilmore is a movie I grew up watching. Adam Sandler is one of my favorite actors because he makes movies that not only relate to the average person, but are packed with laughs. He and his crew (Happy Madison Productions) have produced several movies that make my top list. I focus on this movie because I have just recently watched it for the 60th time (guess-timate). Even though I have seen this movie so many times, I laughed as if it were my first time seeing it. You can’t help but to fall in love with Happy’s character and hope he succeeds. It is a classic underdog story.
