Studying the epics of the world is important for a Game Master to do to improve his games. The Ramayana is one epic, and so are the Vedas. The Ramayana is written, or attributed to, Valmiki. The stories of Rama and Sita make good watching, and reading.
This series is from 1986. It's subtitled in English.
And goes on from there. Also, there is a personal interpretation of the Ramayana by Valmiki done by Nina Paley. This is, of course, "Sita Sings the Blues." The Fundamentalists got all in a huff and a puff that it was written and Stated that the Ramayana was owned by them. Valmiki probably thought it should be owned by the World because the Ramayana is Hinduism's greatest and best known epic.
Enjoy both films. Get inspired.

Here is the not so good, but great in the Day, Hercules! Which is a movie that is based on the Argonautic Expedition.
It's actually a good movie. Steve Reaves is playing Hercules, which is the Danite Judge Samson. Speaking of Samson:
There is Cecil B. Demille's Samson and Deliah! :)
These should be a well rounded start to the World's Mythology. View at your pleasure and get inspired for your games.
