Agora (2009)

Agora is about Hypatia of Alexandria.  Historically, she was a learned woman who gave advice to Orestes, the Roman governor of Alexandria.  She was either beaten to death or flayed alive by a mob of angry Christians.  Unfortunately, none of her works have survived.  The movie itself is beautiful to look at.  The costumes and scenery are gorgeous.  The plot is something I would describe as historical-ish.  We don't really know a lot about Hypatia, so a lot of embellishing had to be done to create a complete character.  I really enjoyed this movie, and it gives me a break from the tired Christian Martyr narrative.

Prince of Egypt Revisited

The monuments in this movie are ridiculously over sized.

Death On The Nile (1978)

This one is set in the 1920s, but Ancient Egypt is kind of underepresented on this blog, and this movie has some great shots of monuments.  It also happens to be very entertaining and funny in places, with some really great actors.

I know it's not historic, but it has some nice shots of ruins.
