Saltzman Sees...Uncle Buck (1989)

Uncle Buck is a John Candy masterpiece.  Nobody knew how to bring out the lovable Candy better than Director John Hughes, whether it was Planes, Trains and Automobiles, The Great Outdoors, or Only the Lonely.  Jean Louisa Kelly was marvelous in her first role ever.

What ensues is one of the most memorable journeys in movie history of a 'boy' becoming a man by helping look after his nieces and nephew.  It is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen and it certainly stands the test of time.

It is the Best Family Picture 1989.

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.
