What about the movie staring Charlten Heston, Ben Hur? We watched that a few years ago and really enjoyed it. There are some sort of some intense scenes so if you have any sensitive viewers, you may want to preview. Overall, it is a really great classic.
Not a movie, but when after we studied Greece we watched the corresponding episodes from Drive Thru History on Netflix. We are on Rome now and plan to do the same.
Roman Holiday! It’s not about Rome, but it was filmed there. Of course, I love it because it stars Audrey Hepburn.
We enjoyed some history channel movies, this I the title I recall off the top of my head – Rise of the Apartment – http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002OLT702?pc_redir=1411918550&robot_redir=1
We watched several of these, I did preview and skip some parts, but overall they were fascinating.
When we studied Rome, we enjoyed the BBC documentary “What the Ancients Did for Us: The Romans”. You can watch the entire episode on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgJ_hFjyKlI
It covers many different aspects of Roman life, including The Roman Bath, Roman Roads, The Roman Military, The Roman Glass Industry, Architecture, Aqueducts, inventions, etc.
The host, Adam Hart Davis, then re-creates some of the Roman inventions and ideas so children can see how they work. (He’s pretty funny, too.)
