Personally I found the lecture on the Maccabean war most interesting. So interesting in fact that I did a little looking into the possibility of a movie dealing with this subject. While my research was not very thorough so I did not turn up any b movies dealing with the subject I did discover a rather interesting fact. Mr. Mel Gibson is planning on doing a movie dealing with this subject. He was inspired by the book of Maccabees. For an article on this go to http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/business/national/8210801.htm?1c.
Just goes to show that not all history is worthy of nap time. This story also inspires some new questions about the Apocrypha. Could it be useful not only for historical reference but also for something like a good Lois Lamour book?

Kenneth,
You know I love but this post is weak.
I do think, however, that the Maccabean revolt would make a great movie. Schwarzenegger could play Judas the Maccabean and say, "Shalom baby!" [sorry!]
peace,
