Saltzman Sees...It Could Happen To You (1994)

It Could Happen To You tells the story of how being honest and nice might have you finishing last in the beginning, but if you follow your heart, you win bigger in the end.  Nicolas Cage and Bridget Fonda are one of the sweetest couples in movie history and their innocence and simplicity is what gets them in trouble in the hard knocks world of New York City.

Their love captures the city of New York in the movie and audiences as well.  It is one of the best movies of the year, and...

It is the Best Family Picture of 1994.

Saltzman Sees...Stealing Home (1988)

Stealing Home is the story of a washed-up baseball player, played by Mark Harmon, who is called back home to handle the ashes of his childhood sweetheart/ first love who had committed suicide. As he searches for what to do with them, he remembers the past and the relationship they had. In doing so he finds himself again.  Jodie Foster is magnificent as Katie Chandler.

Despite a very strong cast and even more compelling storyline, it only grossed $7 million at the box office.  Most people have never heard of this movie, which is sad.  It is a terrific movie and the Most Underrated Movie of 1988.
