Movie 1: Gigi (1958)

Gigi (1958) is a lavish musical romantic comedy that captures a playful yet elegant look at turn-of-the-century Parisian society.
Directed by Vincente Minnelli, the story follows Gigi, a spirited young girl being groomed for the life of a courtesan who unexpectedly finds herself drawn
into real romance with a wealthy family friend, Gaston Lachaille.
Adapted from Colette’s novella, the film is celebrated for its witty dialogue, memorable songs, and sumptuous production design, all wrapped in a satirical
take on social expectations and class.
Winner of nine Academy Awards—including Best Picture—Gigi remains one of Hollywood’s most charming and visually dazzling musicals of the era, balancing
light-hearted romance with sharp cultural commentary.

Movie 2: Field of Dreams (1989)

Field of Dreams (1989) is a heartfelt fantasy sports drama that blends baseball mythology with themes of faith, reconciliation, and belief in the impossible.
Directed by Phil Alden Robinson and based on the novel Shoeless Joe by W.P. Kinsella, the story centres on Ray Kinsella, an Iowa farmer who hears a mysterious
voice instructing him, “If you build it, he will come,” prompting him to construct a baseball diamond in his cornfield.
As former legends of the game emerge and Ray embarks on a deeply personal journey, the film explores the power of forgiveness, dreams, and the enduring
bonds between parents and children.
With its rich emotional resonance and iconic lines, Field of Dreams has become a touchstone of American cinema and a cult favourite among baseball fans
and dreamers alike.
