Other good movies about archeology?

Granted, the Indy films are escapist fare, but I did enjoy the first 3. Raiders is best, obviously. Any others people recommend about films revolving around some archeological item?

First Mummy with Brendan Fraiser was ok. I liked the recent Tomb Raider and also As Above So Below although that is horror. In a stretch, The Exorcist?

Sahara (2005) is about a lost Civil War ironclad lost in North Africa;silly but great fun.

National Treasure is not quite archaeology-based but the history angle is still there.

There were a bunch of cheapies in the 80s trying to cash in on Indiana Jones but those ones focused more on the exotic locales and cliffhanger action instead of archaeology necessarily.
