Saltzman Sees...Waking Ned Devine (1998)

Waking Ned Devine is a terrific tale of a town down on their luck.  But when a lottery winner in town dies of shock, his fellow townsfolk attempt to claim the money.The entire cast is tremendous as they try to find a way to convince the Lottery that Ned Devine is still alive.  David Kelly, who recently died on February 12 of 2012, was brilliant as Michael O'Sullivan.

Waking Ned Devine made only $43 million worldwide and was generally ignored by the U.S.  It did receive several award nominations globally, but only received a single nomination from the Screen Actors Guild in the states.  It is the Most Underrated Movie of 1998.
