My favorite movie when I was a teenager was The Robe.  I saw it with my friends multiple times.  I loved how Caligula was portrayed.  I had read the book by Douglas more than once and the movie was quite different.  Movies and books seldom resemble each other, but then, books are long and movies have a time restraint.

When I lived in Mexico I had a little brown and white terrier named Cafe Con Leche.  I was about 7 or 8.  I named her Cafe Con Leche (coffee with milk)  because of her color and because it was the name of my favorite candy.  I used to dress her up in doll clothes and parade her around the neighborhood.
