The 1997 _The Odyssey_, while of limited usefulness and less integrity, has a preliminary review of the Trojan war (be careful to identify Sinon on your own). The Branaugh _Hamlet_ has a version of the death of Paris with Judy Dench playing Hecuba. Both are worthwhile for high school audiences when supplemented with teacher explanation. Both are currently available as video rentals.
