By all means try "I Claudius" (if you haven't already). I too enjoyed HBO's Rome, but "I Claudius" is still the odds on favorite at our house. It is over 30 years old now but it still works, and very well at that.
There are many other films about ancient Rome, many of the better ones have already been mentioned.
Other titles that come to mind (in no particular order and with no particular recommendation):
Quo Vadis 1951
The Sign Of The Cross 1932 (filmed on location in Fresno California
hock: )
The Robe 1953
Julius Caesar (with Brando as Mark Antony)
Caesar & Cleopatra (1934 with Claudette Colbert)
Cleopatra (with Burton & Taylor)
Hannibal (1960 with Victor Mature in the title role)
There are others of course, but these are the few I recall at the moment.
Good luck and good viewing.
