Movie 1: Doctor Dolittle (1967)

In Doctor Dolittle, a whimsical musical adventure based on the beloved children’s books by Hugh Lofting, the eccentric Dr. John Dolittle lives in a charming
English village and prefers the company of animals to humans. When he discovers he can talk to animals, he sets off on a fantastical voyage around the
world in search of the legendary Great Pink Sea Snail.
With lavish sets, colourful costumes, and catchy songs, this family-friendly film is a celebration of imagination, curiosity, and compassion for all creatures
great and small. Though it faced a rocky production, Doctor Dolittle became a cult favourite and earned several Academy Award nominations.

Movie 2: Where the Boys Are (1960)

Where the Boys Are is a charming coming-of-age romantic comedy that follows four Midwestern college girls as they travel to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for
spring break in search of sun, fun, and romance. While initially light-hearted, the film also explores themes of love, independence, and the evolving expectations
of young women in a rapidly changing society.
Praised for its mix of humour and earnest social commentary, the film became a cultural touchstone for its era and helped define the beach party genre.
Its title song, performed by Connie Francis, became an instant hit and remains a nostalgic anthem.
