Movie 1: Indecent Proposal (1993)
Indecent Proposal is a provocative romantic drama directed by Adrian Lyne, examining love, temptation, and the moral choices people face when money enters
the equation.
The story follows a young married couple, David and Diana Murphy, whose financial struggles threaten their future. Their lives are turned upside down when
billionaire John Gage makes them a shocking offer: one million dollars in exchange for a single night with Diana. What begins as a seemingly simple business
arrangement spirals into emotional turmoil, testing the limits of love, trust, and loyalty.
The film generated significant debate upon its release, raising questions about relationships, morality, and the true price of compromise. Its mix of glossy
romance, melodrama, and controversy made it a cultural talking point of the early 1990s.

Movie 2: Three Days of the Condor (1975)
Three Days of the Condor is a tense political thriller directed by Sydney Pollack, set in the shadowy world of espionage and Cold War paranoia.
The plot centres on Joe Turner, a mild-mannered CIA researcher whose quiet life is shattered when his entire office is wiped out in a brutal massacre.
Returning from lunch to find his colleagues dead, Turner—codenamed “Condor”—must go on the run, not knowing whom he can trust. As he pieces together a
vast conspiracy within the agency itself, the film unfolds as a taut exploration of power, secrecy, and betrayal.
Renowned for its gripping suspense, realistic atmosphere, and sharp social commentary, the film remains a classic of the 1970s conspiracy-thriller genre,
with Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway delivering compelling performances.
