Yeah That's My Boy is slept on, i have no idea why (oh wait I know, it has been popular to pretend to hate Sandler movies pre Uncut Gems for no reasons at all). Its one of the hardest I've laughed in a movie theater in my life! Up there with Something about Mary, Old School, WC, and the Jackass films.
That's My Boy was good. I'd put it behind Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, Big Daddy and probably just ahead of The Waterboy. Definitely deserves a top 5 spot. In fact, those 5 are MILES above anything else he's done. I might put Airheads at #6.
Top 5 Keanu roles in honor of the new Matrix trailer:
HM; The Replacements, Devil's Advocate (one of my favorite trash movies of all time), Parenthood, Dracula, The Gift (Katie Holmes' boobs elevates all)
5. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure--It's good, it's iconic, it's a little slow now. This & Devil's Advocate were a real toss-up for me 4. John Wick--I've never seen any of these from start to finish but I have seen probably 80% of all of them. 3. Speed--Absolute classic action movie. Any other actor would be lucky to have this has his best action movie. Keanu has at least 2 that are clearly better. Crazy career. 2. Point Break--Honestly, Swayze is probably better than Keanu in this but Keanu is really likable. 1. The Matrix--Had never even heard of this movie, somebody got a pirated copy my sophomore year in the dorms (hooray ethernet) and watched it on a laptop screen, completely blew me away. Still holds up, too.

I would give him an HM at least for Dangerous Liaisons.

Couples Retreat is a very bad movie. I think you have it that high because there are some very attractive actresses in bikinis for most of the movie.

The top 2 are not really up for debate. I don't think I've seen #3 or #4. And I liked both Game Night and Horrible Bosses 2 more than Couples Retreat, I think.

mj is correct. Genuinely one of my least favorite movies ever. I'd put Game Night in the top 5. I have no idea whether Necessary Roughness actually holds up but obviously that was a classic of our youths.
Love Stinks is correctly ranked as his worst movie, probably. But for no apparent reason I have fond memories of watching this movie on DVD with a few of my high school chums. IIRC my cousin thought it was really good, so he made us all watch it and it became a running joke of sorts. OK.
