Ercole l'invincibile (1964)
Hercules battles to save the population from a giant dragon.
Colorful, simple-minded Hercules adventure is entertainment on quite a low level, not enhanced by its unbearably dim-witted hero.
Booksmart (2019)
On the eve of their high school graduation, two academic superstars and best friends realize they should have worked less and played more. Determined not to fall short of their peers, the girls try to cram four years of fun into one night.
This coming-of-age comedy gives the genre a more imaginative spin and is fast-paced, witty and rather enjoyable, even for a more mature audience.

White Pongo (1945)
Hunters and scientists venture into the jungle to track down a savage albino gorilla, which they believe could be the missing link between man and ape.
Ridiculous Poverty Row jungle adventure may be a feast for bad movie fans, but its so full of inadequacies (bad acting, bad effects, gorillas obviously played by men in bad costumes) it's hard to watch; on top of that, there are also quite a few unbearably racist elements in the narrative.
