Saltzman Sees...Big (1988)

Big was nominated for my Best Director (Penny Marshall), Best Supporting Actress (Elizabeth Perkins) and Best Screenplay (Gary Ross and Anne Spielberg) in 1988.

Tom Hanks and Robert Loggia playing "Chopsticks"

Saltzman Sees...Return to Me (2000)

Return to Me is a remarkable story of a man who loses his wife, but finds her heart.  David Duchovny and Minnie Driver star in this touching love story directed by Bonnie Hunt.  Carroll O'Conner and Robert Loggia lead a brilliant supporting cast that includes David Alan Grier and John Belushi.  Because Duchovny's wife is an organ donor, her heart ends up with Minnie Driver and when the two main characters meet, there is instant sparks and chemistry.  What will happen when Duchovny finds out how connected they really are?

The reason it is my choice for the Best Family Picture of 2000, is because it reminds us that the cliche: "Home is where the heart is" can be tricky sometimes.  However, that doesn't make it any less true.  This is a movie everyone in the family needs to see.

Saltzman Sees...Oliver and Company (1988)

Oliver & Company is the story of an orphaned kitten who tries to find a family with the help of a gang of dogs.  Musicians Billy Joel and Bette Midler head a strong musical cast in this Disney Classic.  Cheech Marin, Dom DeLuise, and Robert Loggia are part of an impressive supporting cast.  Is it certainly one of the most charming movies Disney has ever produced, and has gotten lost in the shuffle of Classics.

This movie is one of the best examples of how the need for love and family brings out the best in oneself. (or in this case dogs and cats)

It is my choice for Best Family Picture of 1988.
