Saltzman Sees...Dumb and Dumber (1994)

Saltzman Sees Presents...The Funniest Movie of 1994: Dumb and Dumber

Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels decide to go to Aspen

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...With Honors (1994)

Joe Pesci is incredible as Simon Wilder in With Honors. Brendan Fraser plays a Harvard student who thinks he has all the answers for the future. Pesci plays a dying homeless man who teaches Fraser about living with honor.  Moira Kelly and Patrick Dempsey also star in this story about what life is really all about.

The only major award nomination was Madonna's song "I'll Remember" by the Golden Globes for Best Original Song.  It only grossed $20 million in the U.S.  It is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen and clearly my Most Underrated Movie of 1994.
