Movie 1: Howards End (1992)

Howards End is a critically acclaimed period drama directed by James Ivory, based on the novel by E. M. Forster. Set in Edwardian England, the film explores
themes of class, connection, and inheritance through the intertwining lives of the Schlegels, the Wilcoxes, and the Basts.
The story centres on Margaret Schlegel, who forms a friendship with Ruth Wilcox, the matriarch of the wealthy Wilcox family. After Ruth’s death, a conflict
arises over her wish to bequeath her beloved country estate, Howards End, to Margaret. The film delves into questions of social change, love, and the legacy
of tradition.
Howards End was a major critical and commercial success, praised for its performances, screenplay, and sumptuous production values. It went on to win three
Academy Awards, including Best Actress for Emma Thompson.

Movie 2: Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)

Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a legendary British comedy directed by Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones. A parody of Arthurian legend, the film follows
King Arthur and his eccentric band of knights on a quest to find the elusive Holy Grail.
Filled with surreal humour, absurd sketches, and unforgettable lines, the film became a cult classic and remains one of the most beloved comedies of all
time. Its low-budget ingenuity, offbeat style, and sheer silliness helped cement Monty Python’s reputation as pioneers of modern comedy.
From the Knights Who Say “Ni!” to the killer rabbit, Monty Python and the Holy Grail continues to delight audiences around the world nearly 50 years after
its release.
