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...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.
