Flick of the Day

Film: SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE

Director: Nora Ephron

Actors: Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Ross Malinger, Rosie O'Donnell, Bill Pullman, Rita Wilson, Gaby Hoffmann, Rob Reiner, Victor Garber, Carey Lowell, David Hyde Pierce, Frances Conroy

Year: 1993

Synopsis: A young boy calls a radio show to help his widowed father find love again.

It's the perfect New Year's movie with the original pairing of superstars Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. It's romantic and funny and touching... and nothing beats the last scene. Hanks and Ryan are great, but it's the littlest actors Ross Malinger and Gaby Hoffmann who will keep you smiling.

Film: UNCLE BUCK

Director: John Hughes

Actors: John Candy, Jean Louisa Kelly, Gaby Hoffmann, Macaulay Culkin, Amy Madigan, Laurie Metcalf

Year: 1989

Synopsis: A wacky bachelor helps out his estranged brother and sister-in-law.

Funny guy John Candy was at his best in this hilarious film about a man trying to take care of his nieces and nephew for a few weeks. The cast is great, but it's youngsters Gaby Hoffmann and Macaulay Culkin who have some of the best lines. One of the best scenes: Buck preparing a giant pancake (that he has to flip with a shovel).
