Any other cool movies that borrow from mayan beliefs wether they are accurate or just fictional?
I find this kind of stuff interesting. We do tend to make up alot about cultures we do not understand, so I'm not expecting most of the movies to be based on fact or anything.
The closest thing I can think of was Apocalypto but I have already seen it.

I can't think of any myself but would love to find more.

I think you just answered it: Apocalypto will forever be the Mayan movie. One of the best movies I've seen in my life.

Even though Apocalypto portrays the Maya about as accurately as Disneys Hercules did Greek mythology.

Apocalypto was to Mayans as Braveheart was to Scottish war against England.

Apocalypto was to Mayans as Braveheart was to Scottish cultural history.
