You haven't seen "The Egyptian", Neb? Don't you know it's required watching for Egyptophiles!
Seriously, tough, it's a great movie--full of glaring historical errors, but really good entertainment. When it was made, the director was interested in ancient Egypt himself, so he had the props men make sure theyused props that were reproductions of article in paintings in tombs. Beautiful visuals!
And "Cleopatra" with Burton and Taylor gets a lot of laughs today, but I think it was really good! The entry into Rome was spectacular!

Osiris II,

I have never seen the Awakening but have heard about it. I have also not seen The Egyptian but have been dying to see it!

How about "The Land of the Pharaohs (1955)" starring Jack Hawkins and Joan Collins and "Cleopatra (1963)" starring Richard Burton and Liz Taylor. Although not always historically accurate the visuals and sets in those movies are amazing. How about the procession scene when Cleopatra visits Rome in "Cleopatra" . A must see in wide screen format. That's grand scale movie making at its best!

The movie Cleopatra (1963) with Liz Taylor is a must see and you will
be impressed by the settings of this film

I have the remasterd DVD
version and its soo good :lol:

Forget abut if its accurate or not
The movie is so well done for its time....
