I'd like an ancient GREEK movie of some sort, it doesn't necessarily have to be about ancient wars, it could be about the Gods as well.
Ones I have already seen:
Clash of the Titans (original)
Troy
300
Jason and the Argonauts [url]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057197/[/url]
There are a lot of Odyssey adaptations too.
Wall-E
Agora.
Actually it's a recent foreign film, i dunno if it's released on other countries.
O Brother, Where art thou?
Based on the odyssey.
Any of the Xena/Hercules movies.
I second the recommendation for Jason and the Argonauts. Here are some others I find to be rather good:

As you can see from the titles, some of these are Italian Sword-and-Sandal films, also known as Peplums. They are generally very hard to find, but I recommend the following site if you want to buy some of them:
[URL]http://store.sinistercinema.com/prostores/servlet/Categories?category=Sword+and+Sandal&searchpath=3357867&start=1&total=114[/URL]
(Incidentally, the site sells many great Roman movies too)
The ones I listed with their English titles are Hollywood epics, and unlike the peplums, they can usually be found just by doing a simple search in Amazon.
The 300 Spartans. This kicks 300s ass.
What's the shitty documentary version of 300? That has the similar logo? I actually kind of liked that movie.
The Collectors Edition of the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.
EDIT: Oh, and the awesome Disney Hercules movie.
