Saltzman Sees...Aladdin (1992)

Robin Williams is brilliant in one of the best roles Disney ever created.  Aladdin is a hilarious, action packed and heart warming story.  After The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin certainly continued the tradition of new look princesses.  Ariel was the red headed mermaid that became a woman.  Belle was the bookworm who didn't want to get married. Now we have Jasmine, already a princess, but unwilling to marry just any prince.  If for no other reason than Williams as the genie, Aladdin is a must see for any family.

This movie teaches us that the most important thing you can do is to make sacrifices for the people you care about. 

It is the Best Disney Picture of 1992.

Saltzman Sees...School Ties (1992)

School Ties is the story of a prestigious 1950s school who bring in a transfer student to help their football team to beat the school's old rivals. This transfer student, however, is from a working class background, so he isn't really "one of them", but seems to fit in perfectly. David, played by Brendan Fraser, is Jewish, and has to keep this a secret from his friends for fear of being rejected.  One of the most remarkable things about this movie is the job by the young cast.  Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Chris O'Donnell, Cole Hauser, and Amy Locane were all no names at the time the movie. Dick Wolf, the creator of the Law & Order franchise, wrote the screenplay.  Fraser is tremendous as the principal character.  Matt Damon is tremendous as well as the jealous and therefore key adversary of Fraser.  Like young up and coming boxers hoping for a title fight, they shine and plant the seeds for future A-List status.

School Ties did not receive a single major nomination, and only grossed $14.7 million worldwide.

School Ties was nominated for my Best Picture for 1992.
It is also my choice for the Most Underrated Movie of 1992.
