Any enjoyable movies set around or during EB's timeframe?

Or try the good old sword & sandal movies.

Like Cleopatra, Alexander the Great, Spartacus, Ben Hur, 300 Spartans.

An Old, but really good Movie.... Alexander (1950's), the new one (2000's) portay Alexandros as a freak gay, and it lacks the deep, philosophical meaning of the original film.

Spartucus. Ben-hur. Weird early 2000's anime like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=931311

You can try Monty Python's Life of Brian....a comedy always throws people off.

*runs*

Edit: huh, if you're talking about anime/manga, you can always try this one

Well there are a lot of enjoyable movies at least if one can surpress the inner hisrian or stratege who screems "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" on this matter I would like to ad that monty phytons Life of brian(and the holy grale) sometimes are much more close to history than most hollywood productions^^

as not THE CLiche movie I would suggest Attila the hun, most people may find it not violent enough but hey, for what do we have 300?
It's in the timeline of IB :>

What exactly is you're project?

Is it to discuss the accuracy of a movie re-history and does it have to be in the Ancient period?

If not then U627 is an exciting film but total bullshit when it comes to history, you could contrast it with the accuracy portrayed in "Das Boot", also an excellent film.

King Athur is entertaining too. It´s also near the eb timeframe (but still a movie).

I've recently enjoyed A Man for All Seasons (which I watched in a history class) and The Robe. Each movies won several Oscars, due to their superb actors and plots.

But if you want a more recent movie then I would advise Mongol.
