Adam Sandler has starred in dozens of comedies, but most of his best films released in the back half of the ’90s. Despite being responsible for some of the most beloved comedy movies of the past 30 years, the vast majority of films starring Sandler haven’t received 4K Blu-ray releases. But maybe the floodgates will open now that the film that put him on the map in 1995 is getting a 4K Blu-ray edition for its 30th anniversary. Billy Madison returns to school on July 29, and you can watch his quest to become a scholar in 4K by preordering a copy at Amazon or Walmart.
After reading about the 4K Blu-ray release, you can check out the long list of Adam Sandler movies on Blu-ray that we compiled below.

Preordering from Amazon or Walmart means you won’t be charged until the item ships, and you’ll be eligible for any discounts between now and release. If you can’t wait until July 29, a Blu-ray version is available for just $9.

Adam Sandler Movies on Blu-ray
If you’re interested in pairing the upcoming 4K edition of Billy Madison with additional Sandler flicks, you’ll be glad to know most of the classics are available on Blu-ray. Some of his newer films (like all the Netflix releases) are limited to streaming, but hits like Big Daddy and Mr. Deeds are available for cheap on Blu-ray. If you want to get caught up on the action before Happy Gilmore 2 arrives in July, you can pick up the original Happy Gilmore (Blu-ray) for just $8.82. Happy Gilmore is also available in a bundle with Billy Madison for $10.33. Another notable bundle is Big Daddy and Mr. Deeds for only $9.55.
Two notable Adam Sandler movies already have 4K Blu-ray releases, but that’s because they are part of the Criterion Collection. Unsurprisingly, neither film–Uncut Gems and Punch-Drunk Love–are “traditional” Sandler movies. That said, Sandler was fantastic in both movies, and the Criterion Collection editions are great.
A few of his newer movies are also available in 4K–and these are part of the fantastic Criterion Collection, meaning they’re packed with bonuses and unique box art.
