I'm finally starting this project to watch the entire Touchstone Pictures filmography (every film associated with the Disney label whether through production or distribution) from 1984-2016 & share my thoughts on each release in this thread. Follow along as I revisit the hits, misses & obscurities.

Kimberly Williams’s debut performance as Annie Banks in FATHER OF THE BRIDE (1991) was nominated for Best Breakthrough Performance at the 1992 MTV Movie Awards. Unfortunately Williams lost to Edward Furlong (Terminator 2: Judgment Day) in the category.

Looks like the dates for 2026 match up with 1998 perfectly so I’m finally gonna get some more use out of this old Blockbuster Video wall calendar.

One of the things I love about FATHER OF THE BRIDE (1991) is that it gave us an all-time great Steve Martin meltdown.

Just thinking about how a decade into the Touchstone Pictures filmography there had been four films featuring characters singing “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” from SONG OF THE SOUTH (1946).

Robert Benton’s middle of the pack 1930s mobster flick was a critical & commercial failure but in retrospect I think it deserves more credit. Hoffman brings gravitas to Dutch Schultz at the center of a powerhouse cast. Its not the best gangster movie but one that is definitely worth a reevaluation.

Good morning, gang! For @nytimes.com, I had the immense honor of writing about the legacies of Drew Struzan and Renato Casaro, and how their near-simultaneous passings mark the end of an era for movie poster art.
