What DVD's would you recommend to go alongside ancients in high school?

I've got Guns, Germs, & Steel coming in from Netflix. Any others that your family particularly liked that go with the study of the ancient world?

I am NO help with this one-my queue is 150 long with all of them. DH finds me clicking away at night adding more. Engineering an Empire looks fantastic.

I hope Guns Germs and Steel is good-I tried to read the book but meh.

ANcient Egypt (or Ancient Egyptians) - can't remember the exact title. But it is the 4 part docu-drama. They re-enact 4 true stories (full of murder and mahem) set in Ancient Egypt. My kids (all ages) loved them and I got my husband to watch one before we visted Egypt.
And it is on Netflix.
I watched all the Decisive Battles DVDs with my middle school son -they would work for high school too. Probably would hold more interest for a boy as they are about the battle strategies. They are 30 min each and use video game technology to show the battles
