In Spaceman, Sandler takes on his most challenging role yet: operating a spaceship in zero gravity. “We used all the tricks in the book,” director Johan Renck told Netflix. “We have everything from wires to various rigs that Adam was attached to in his hip or even things he was sitting on.” It all adds up to create the illusion of Sandler floating through a spaceship on the edges of the known universe. Based on the novel Spaceman of Bohemia by Jaroslav Kalfař, the film is an interstellar drama that finds Jakub (Sandler) on a solitary research mission in the depths of the cosmos, while his wife, Lenka (Carey Mulligan), struggles in his absence back on Earth. When Jakub realizes his earthbound marriage may be falling apart, he’s desperate to fix it — and with the help of an ancient and mysterious creature (voiced by Paul Dano), he begins to piece together the fragments of his life. “It was first and foremost a love story for me,” Renck said.

Sandler has a famously expressive mug, but his voice is just as memorable — a slightly raspy Brooklyn drawl that he’s lent to animated films like Eight Crazy Nights and the Hotel Transylvania trilogy. In Leo, that voice emerges from the mouth of the titular cantankerous reptile, a classroom pet who faces a midlife crisis as he turns 74. Determined to have a few new experiences before it’s too late, Leo hatches a plot to escape his enclosure and see the world — only to find new life as a therapy pet for his anxious students. Also starring Bill Burr, Cecily Strong, and the whole Sandler family (see below), Leo is the heartwarming tale of a lizard who just won’t quit.

The Sandler family takes the spotlight in the new teen comedy, which tackles the competitive and occasionally cutthroat world of bat mitzvah preparation. Sandler’s daughter, Sunny Sandler, stars as Stacy Friedman, whose plans for her bat mitzvah become a true minefield of teen politics. Fortunately, she has her family to fall back on; her father appears as her on-screen father and her sister Sadie as her sister Ronnie, with Idina Menzel rounding out the cast as mother Bree. Also starring? Sandler’s wife Jackie Sandler, Saturday Night Live star Sarah Sherman, Luis Guzmán and Jackie Hoffman. This is one party you won’t want to miss.

Sandler and Jennifer Aniston return as Nick and Audrey Spitz in Murder Mystery’s new sequel, which sees the pair head to a glamorous island wedding, only to be trapped in yet another, well, murder mystery. With new cast additions like Mark Strong and Mélanie Laurent and even more well-meaning mayhem, Murder Mystery 2 will hit the spot for any fan of the original (which you’ll find a little further down this list).

Sandler’s flick from director Jeremiah Zagar (We the Animals) follows a harried basketball scout who discovers a talented young player in Spain. Sandler is a longtime basketball fan; stories of him showing up to play pickup games at random suburban courts are a fixture of the internet. Here, the comedian channels that enthusiasm into an underdog story about the cost of success. Sandler’s Hustle co-stars include Queen Latifah and real-life NBA player Juancho Hernangómez.

Every year, Hubie Dubois (Adam Sandler), a deli worker in Salem, Massachusetts, volunteers as the official “Halloween Helper,” dedicated to keeping the streets of Salem safe when “the spooky fun gets out of hand” on Oct. 31. Unfortunately, years of faithful service have turned Hubie into a town joke (to everyone except the lovely Violet Valentine, played by Julie Bowen) and a huge pain to police sergeants Downey (Kevin James) and Blake (Kenan Thompson).

But this Halloween, legit mischief is afoot — a legit investigation into a real murder. And Hubie won’t rest until all the mysteries are solved and all the people are protected. Sandler’s signature antics and the constant spoofing of horror film tropes make for a fun and silly 103 minutes.

And we haven’t even talked about the comedy tour de force that is this cast! Ray Liotta, Rob Schneider, June Squibb, Steve Buscemi, Maya Rudolph, Tim Meadows, George Wallace, Shaquille O’Neal — the list (and laughs) goes on.

Sandler reteamed with his Just Go with It co-star Aniston for this European romp. The plot? Well, like it says on the can: It’s a murder mystery. While on a long-awaited vacation, New York detective Nick Spitz and his wife, Audrey, get caught in a rich family’s yacht-bound conspiracy and wind up framed for murder, forcing them to go on the run. If you’re tired of waiting for Knives Out 3, this may tide you over for a bit.

Sandler reunited with his Saturday Night Live co-star Chris Rock for this odd-couple comedy about a pair of dads preparing for the wedding of their children. As the big day draws closer, the mismatched patriarchs find themselves at each other’s throats — but they’ll have to put their differences aside if they want their kids to make it through the week. Also starring Rachel Dratch and Sandler stalwart Steve Buscemi, this is one wedding you won’t want to miss.

Sandler is known for his live-wire gross-out comedy, but just as important to the alchemy of his star presence is an undercurrent of vulnerable sweetness. That’s the side that’s on display in this comedy special, named in honor of his routinely negative Rotten Tomatoes scores. Sandler’s song tribute to Chris Farley (which he later also performed on Saturday Night Live, where the two met) is one of the most sincere and beautiful moments in his entire career.

Sandler and Jennifer Hudson are an unlikely romantic duo in this 2017 comedy about a talent agent struggling to find success for his clients in 1994 Hollywood. Sandy Wexler is a minor comedy epic that covers wrestling, ventriloquy, the heavy weight of fame-mongering and the comic stylings of “Weird Al” Yankovic. With a truly awe-inspiring roster of comedy legends (everyone from Lorne Michaels to Arsenio Hall pops up), a Beavis and Butt-Head cameo and even an examination of the legality of puppet-officiated weddings, Sandy Wexler has it all.
