SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Its lavish ancient-world setting is constantly punctured by gleeful anachronisms, verbal silliness, and ensemble slapstick—close to the buoyant French-farce spirit of The Visitors.
02
Why this pick
A man abruptly displaced into modern France creates the same kind of escalating culture-clash comedy, with a polished, very French taste for social panic and comic misunderstandings.
03
Why this pick
For the pleasure of medieval adventure colliding with other eras, it offers a brisk, mischievous time-travel quest full of eccentric characters and wildly comic period detail.
04
Why this pick
Its playful time-hopping, genial heroes, and comic collisions between historical figures and modern behavior make it a lighter, more youthful cousin to The Visitors.
05
Why this pick
A long-lost man facing an unrecognizable present gives it a similarly warm, high-energy blend of temporal dislocation, family comedy, and escalating fantastical chaos.
