  Oh wait you asked for movies that sound dull, not movies that sound like they'd never happen in the real world.

  
  He gets sent to prison for a murder, not a financial crime, so that part is more than plausible.

  Lawrence of Arabia: almost four hours of a man walking and fighting in a desert with no love interest- indeed not a woman in sight.
  
  Brief Encounter: two people meet at a train station, contemplate an affair but decide not to.

  When I saw the title of this thread I immediatley though of Apoclaypto, its a bloody masterpiece for my money, never has a film felt like it transported to another time and place quite like that one.

  The Terminal & Catch me if you Can sounded like complete borefests (and the trailers didn't help), then I watched them (because I friend urged me to give them a go) and liked them.

  While it doesn't sound that boring, i've always found this description of The Wizard Of Oz as highly amusing:
  
  "Transported to surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again"

  That sounds like a great film. You'd actually be disappointed when you watched it.
