I've enjoyed very few Sandler movies, Happy Gilmore & Punch Drunk Love. I really was surprised with what P.T.Anderson accomplished in PDL, Sandler was very good. Gilmore is classic for the Bob Barker scene alone.

Punch Drunk Love.
But if you don't include that movie because, well, it's not a typical Sandler movie, I'd have to go with either Wedding Singer or his funiest IMO, Billy Madison.
"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

Yikes, Punch-Drunk Love? That ranks as the second-worst movie I've ever seen. It was just so horribly forced. Amazingly bad movie. And this coming from someone who adores movies like Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, and Lost in Translation, which I thought were infinitely more clever.
I voted for The Wedding Singer. Unlike with Emily Watson, Adam Sandler actually had some chemistry with Drew Barrymore.

Punch-Drunk Love is the one where his comedic strengths are somehow harnessed into dramatic tools. Works for me.
But Happy Gilmore is his best comedic role, so if I could vote for two, I'd include that one.

Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer, and Billy Madison are all very close in my book. Since I could only vote for one, I chose Happy Gilmore. Now if only we could get some more good golf movies like this and Caddy Shack.

They are all basically the same movie. With the exception of two. PDL, which I haven't seen and Wedding Singer, where he actually showed a tiny bit of acting range vs. just playing a lovable moron in the rest.
