Did You Know...

... the role of Dolores/Sister Mary Clarence was written for Bette Midler. When she turned down the offer, Whoopi Goldberg stepped up to the plate. A wise choice for the comedienne because the film went on to gross more than $230 million worldwide, making Goldberg one of the biggest stars of 1992. She scored a $7 million dollar payday for the sequel, "Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit".

Quote of the Day

"I got news for you, pal. You ain't leading but two things right now: Jack and Shit. And, Jack left town."

23) THE PREACHER'S WIFE

Director: Penny Marshall

Actors: Denzel Washington, Whitney Houston, 

Courtney B. Vance, Justin Pierre Edmund, Gregory Hines, 

Jenifer Lewis, Loretta Devine, Lionel Richie

Year: 1996

The remake of the 1947 film, "The Bishop's Wife", will definitely make you smile. An angel (Washington) comes down to earth to help a preacher (Vance) with his dwindling congregation and troubled marriage to the choir director (Houston). If the superb cast doesn't make you wanna see it (especially a gorgeous Denzel), try it for the stellar soundtrack (courtesy of the divine Ms. Houston) that features the beautiful song, 'Who Would Imagine a King'.

19) A NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Director: Henry Selick

Actors: Danny Elfman, Chris Sarandon, Catherine O'Hara, 

Paul Reubens, William Hickey, Glenn Shadix

Year: 1993

It's very dark (as most Tim Burton films are), but it definitely is a Christmas film. Jack, King of Halloweentown, decides he wants to be the new Santa, so he devises a plan to have the real one kidnapped. It's a bit hypnotic, but the story is cool and the effects are even cooler.

16) BATMAN RETURNS

Director: Tim Burton

Actors: Michael Keaton, Michelle Pfeiffer, Danny DeVito,

Christopher Walken, Michael Gough, Pat Hingle

Year: 1992

With the second installment of the Tim Burton version of the franchise, Michael Keaton's Batman takes on Michelle Pfeiffer and Danny DeVito's Catwoman and Penguin. It's dark and weird (like all Burton flicks), but it takes place during the happiest time of the year, Christmas. Although this was a sequel, it still retained the fresh storyline and good (over) acting that we so much enjoyed in the 1989 version. Good job, Burton!
