if the star was anyone but Sandler that movie would have been panned His performance distracted reviewers from the mess.

Chicken Run. Great homage to the Great Escape at the beginning

Are you saying he was good? I find the comedian to serious actor transition fascinating. Robin Williams, numerous times, but Jim Carey in the Truman Show and Will Ferrell in Stranger than Fiction were really good, IMO.

People don't realize that comedians can go serious because often the space inside a comedian's head is a dark, dark place and comedy as a creative outlet is often how they stay sane.

Dunkirk,
1917,
Glory,
Lawrence of Arabia,
Patton.

Movies about people heroically overcoming odds...even though some people die. The kind of stuff we need today. And they are all true stories

Glory has been one of my favorite movies since it's come out. My other favorites have changed, but it's always stayed with me. Love that movie.

Some others that I personally enjoy:
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
Roadhouse
Point Break (original)
True Romance

I can watch all of them on loop.

Separately, my guilty pleasure of late 90s/early 00s romcoms:
10 Things I Hate About You
Can't Hardly Wait
She's All That

Glory is my absolute favorite all-time movie. I cry every time I watch it, but I keep coming back to it. A very important true story ... with wonderful acting performances by Denzell Washginton, Morgan Freeman and others.
