Movie about a smart man who wakes up in the future

I’m looking for a 80x-90x movie, probably US made.

Here’s a summary of my clues:

  1. Main Plot: A man wakes up many years into the future from his original time.
  2. Future Society: The man realizes society has changed significantly, with people in this future being relatively “average” compared to him.
  3. Intelligence Contrast: He is considered smart in this new world and is given a tour or demonstration of how life, government, and technology work.
  4. VHS Scene: He’s provided with VHS tapes (or similar media) to watch what happened in the decades since he was last conscious, but he falls asleep while watching them.

Chatbots always think this is Idiocracy, but it is not. I believe it is some earlier low-budget? film.

Spanish movie about love

I am looking for a Spanish long-lasting, troubled love story. Probably the film is from 1980s-1990s.

Let me summarize my clues:

1. Lovers who meet intermittently.
2. A train scene where they meet and spend the night in a compartment.
3. Set in post-WWII, continuing into Franco’s Spain.

4. The man is successful under Franco’s regime, and the woman is beautiful.

5. A scene where she makes a dress from a curtain.
