...Gilmore’ and ‘The Waterboy’. Well Billy Madison is one of his original classics.

Advantages: Adam Sandler at his best and hilarious
Disadvantages: Not exactly the family film it makes itself out to be

...better in the world of Billy Madison, played by Adam Sandler in his best role yet. Although this film was 1995, and I was only 6 when it was released, I have watched this film back over the years and I would say it is probably one of my favourite films of all time. Even if you don't like Adam Sandler as an actor, it's hard not to like Billy Madison as he battles against time to take over his dads billion dollar company. The reason he is battling ...

...Comedy' with his signature work, Billy Madison. This flick, featuring a barrage of infantile humor, lends itself to repeated viewing for moviegoers who enjoy Sandler's brand of humor.
