Saltzman Sees...Goodfellas (1990)

Goodfellas was my Best Picture, Best Director (Martin Scorsese) and 

Best Supporting Actor (Joe Pesci) of 1990.

Saltzman Sees...Pretty Woman (1990)

Saltzman Sees Presents...The Most Romantic Movie of 1990: Pretty Woman

Julia Roberts is my Best Actress of 1990.

Saltzman Sees...Home Alone (1990)

Home Alone is a classic Christmas movie that spawned a franchise.  Many may be tired of this movie for it's over saturation at the time, but it is still a hilarious movie.  Catherine O'Hara is terrific as a mother who will stop at nothing to make sure her boy is safe.  Macaulay Culkin may have peaked before he became a teenager, but he was still great in this family movie.  Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern are fantastic as the bumbling burglars.  This is a movie that stands the test of time as both a family picture and a Christmas movie.

Both Culkin and O'Hara learn that without family, we have nothing and that until they can makes amends for their mistakes, they can't move forward.

It is the Best Family Picture of 1990.

Saltzman Sees...I Love You to Death (1990)

Kevin Kline is terrific as he leads an All-Star cast in this hilarious look at marriage, infidelity, murder and ultimately reconciliation and love. Kline stars as Joey Boca, a pizza shop owner, who spends his days and nights making pizzas and making house calls to all the lovely ladies in town.  Tracey Ullman, Joan Plowright, River Phoenix, William Hurt and Keanu Reeves co-star in this laugh out loud comedy.

It only made $16 million at the box office and was ignored by critics.  It is my Most Underrated Movie of 1990.

It is also the Funniest Movie of 1990.
