Would domestic films about the Middle East be up your alley TC? Iran has a pretty thriving & well-regarded domestic cinema, believe it or not.

It is flawed as hell, but I do legitimately love the director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven.

About 45 minutes that adds load of context and fixes a lot of issues with the film. I'd rather not go into more detail, as there are big spoilers just in case. But an example....

Eva Green finds out her son has leprosy after her brother dies of leprosy, and she's shown mercy killing him.

I like Kingdom of Heaven (Director's Cut only) but one thing that confuses me is how it clearly has an anti-Christian pro-Muslim bias and it seems to be something everyone denies.

Pretty fair imo. The Church was the bad guy of the Crusades, as much as you can say one or the other side was the bad guy.

I disagree. It has an anti-fundamentalist agenda, and during those times the European crusaders were much more aligned in the realm of backwards fundamentalism. Orlando Bloom's, Liam Neeson's, Jeremy Irons', and especially Edward Norton's characters are all portrayed very positively and all represent Christian characters.
