Movie 1: Parenthood (1989)

Parenthood (1989) is a warm, funny, and deeply relatable comedy-drama that explores the joys, anxieties, and unexpected challenges of raising children.
Directed by Ron Howard, the film follows the interconnected lives of the Buckman family as they navigate parenthood in all its messy, imperfect forms—from
overachieving kids and rebellious teenagers to overwhelmed parents trying their best to do right.
Balancing heartfelt emotion with sharp humour, the film offers an honest look at family life, embracing both its chaos and its tenderness.
With a strong ensemble cast and an affectionate, human touch, Parenthood remains a beloved film that resonates with anyone who has ever been part of a
family,
celebrating the idea that there is no single “right” way to be a parent.

Movie 2: Dick Tracy (1990)

Dick Tracy (1990) is a bold, stylised crime action film that brings the classic comic strip detective to life with striking visuals and a larger-than-life
tone.
Directed by and starring Warren Beatty, the film follows hard-nosed detective Dick Tracy as he takes on ruthless gangster Big Boy Caprice while navigating
a
complicated romance with singer Breathless Mahoney.
Noted for its vivid primary colour palette, dramatic makeup, and faithful comic-book aesthetic, the film stands out as a visually distinctive take on the
film noir genre.
With memorable performances, energetic action, and an Academy Award-winning musical score, Dick Tracy is a striking and ambitious adaptation that blends
crime,
romance, and comic-strip spectacle into a uniquely cinematic experience.
