Saltzman Sees...The Preacher's Wife (1996)

The Preacher's Wife is a Christmas movie that gets lost during the Holiday season because of so many classics, from It's a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street, to recent hits like Elf and Christmas Vacation. Denzel Washington is the finest actor of his generation, and in this movie, he shows a softer, comical side he doesn't get to show often.  Whitney Houston provides her angelic voice to the movie and the supporting cast includes brilliant actors like Gregory Hines, Loretta Devine, Courtney B. Vance and Jenifer Lewis.  It is one of my favorite Christmas movies of all-time.

The Preacher's Wife is a beautiful story of a man in need of someone to help during hard times for his community. What he learns about the strength in believing in his community, even during it's toughest times, is what sets this film apart.

It is the Best Family Picture of 1996.

Saltzman Sees...Father of the Bride (1991)

Father of the Bride is one of the most heartwarming stories ever told about the fear of losing your daughter to a younger man.  Steve Martin, one of the greatest comedians of all-time, portrays George Banks flawlessly, by playing a father filled with flaws.

The one thing he has nailed down is his love for his family and this story exudes that.  Father of the Bride is certainly one of the most underrated performances of Martin's career and also started Kimberly Williams movie career.

It is the Best Family Picture of 1991.
