Night Train To Lisbon (2013)

Seeing an out from his existence as a live-alone, play-chess-alone Classics professor, a Swiss man uses the train tickets he finds in the coat of a woman he saved from killing herself to go to Lisbon where he infects even a Boys Own Adventure set in pre-Carnation Revolution Lisbon with his tediousness.

Ben-Hur (2016)

Forget the chariot race - it's essentially the same - and go see this Ben-Hur remake for its spectacular slave galley scenes...and because it is a very entertaining movie despite a way too pat finish, way too much Days of Our Lives hair, and way too long a runtime even at half the length of the original.
