While You Were Sleeping, 1995





Director: Jon Turteltaub (National Treasure, Cool Runnings)
Stars: Sandra Bullock, Bill Pullman, Peter Gallagher, Jack Warden, Peter Boyle, Monica Keena






How did 1995 get to me 16 years ago? What happened?

Lucy (Bullock), single and without any family in the big city of Chicago, agrees to work Christmas day at the subway because everyone else has family obligations. But her Christmas suddenly changes when a handsome passenger whose eye she's been trying to catch is pushed onto the tracks-- and she saves his life.

At the hospital she meets his family, the Callahans, and by some crazy mistake, they are told that she is his- Peter's (Gallagher)- fiancee. He can't argue about it because he's in a coma, and because of Peter's grandmother's heart condition, Lucy is afraid to tell his family the truth. And when they invite her to Christmas dinner and she experiences being in a family again, she has another reason not to tell them. But things get complicated when she meets Peter's brother Jack (Pullman), and they end up liking each other.

Totally hilarious and sweet!
