Saltzman Sees...Toy Story 2 (1999)

Toy Story 2 is the first sequel in the Disney Pixar franchise is also one of the best movies of 1999. The second installment of the Toy Story empire is just as heartwarming and just as fun as the first. It introduces new characters to 'Andy's Room' and includes one of the most beautiful, emotional sequences in the company's history...(You Tube Clip below)

Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are just as fabulous in the sequel, and the message this franchise sends through their movies about loyalty and friendship are second to none.

It is the Best Family Picture of 1999.

Saltzman Sees...A Lesson Before Dying (1999)

A Lesson Before Dying stars Don Cheadle, Cicely Tyson and Mekhi Phifer. Tyson is always brilliant, but Cheadle gives another masterful performance for HBO. He was tremendous as Earl Manigault in Rebound three years earlier, and he is again magnificent as Grant Wiggins. This was a novel and a teleplay before becoming an HBO Movie and is certainly adapted well to the screen. Very much like Dead Man Walking, which got much acclaim, Wiggins is asked to help a man on death row. With the racial tension of the 1940's and a young black man in jail for killing a white man, Wiggins becomes the only person willing to help.

Saltzman Sees...October Sky (1999)

October Sky is the inspirational true story of Homer Hickam, a coal miner's son who was inspired by the first Sputnik launch to take up rocketry against his father's wishes. Chris Cooper and Jake Gyllenhaal are remarkable as father and son.

It only grossed $32.4 million worldwide. It didn't get nominated for a single major award. Both Cooper and Gyllenhaal are now well know, but neither was given credit for their tremendous performance in one of the best films and Most Underrated Movies of 1999.
