Other than The Ten Commandments, Cleopatra, and The Egyptian, what movies have an ancient Egyptian feel or flavor that don't include the standard mummy cliché?
(Granted, The Mummy and The Mummy Returns had their moments.)

Joseph was a movie from the mid 90s about that story from the Bible.....there are also countless documentaries if you are interested.
I recently saw an old movie called Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie and loved it. yes, I know, it is not what you asked for, i.e. not telling of ancient Egypt. But anyway it was filmed on actual locations in Egypt, has good actors and is very entertaining in many ways. There are the Giza pyramids and Karnak temple among many things. They keep running quite a while in the magnificent Hypostyle Hall which is Karnak's "best part".

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, originally a musical written by Andrew Lloyd Webber in the '70's.
Not technically a movie, though I've seen it performed on TV -- Guiseppi Verdi's opera Aida.

If Imhotep was alive he'd have to sue for slander.

No, I was not referring to the musical. There was a tv movie made of the actual Biblical story in 1995. Check here > Joseph Movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113483/)
