You Might Be Surprised By New Hampshire’s Adam Sandler’s 12 Best Movies

Adam Sandler may have been born in Brooklyn, New York, but growing up in New Hampshire makes him so much more of a New Englander, especially to locals.

And how fun is it when he pops up from time to time in the Granite State, whether it's hitting up the Puritan Backroom or graciously taking a quick selfie with a fan.

Having those Granite State roots adds an extra layer of pride when we watch him on screen because it's not just watching a Hollywood star, it's watching one of our own.

But which of his movies are the best? Let's take a look at his top 12, according to Rotten Tomatoes scores.

Adam Sandler's comedies, especially early hits like "The Wedding Singer" and "Happy Gilmore," tend to get the most attention, along with the running joke that he only makes movies with his friends, like "Grown Ups." And then of course, there's the occasional drama roles like in "Uncut Gems" and "Punch Drunk Love."

But when you actually take a look at Adam Sandler's filmography, it's pretty surprising what a wide range of movies he has and the success stories.

Plus, a lot of hits have been much more recent than one might think, including multiple Netflix originals.
