The only problem I have with Paul movies, is that Luke probably wrote The Acts of the Apostles some years after the death of Paul, and probably never met him. I know there are “we” passages in Acts, but given Luke’s Hellenistic literary style, it is likely that he is using a common technique, used by authors of Greek sagas at the time to bolster a sense of authenticity.

Who taught you that???

2Ti_4:11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

I'll stick with the bible...

Probably...probably...likely—on what evidence do you base that?
Luke is one of the most accurate ancient historians there is. In Luke 3:1,2 there are 22 historical facts. Every one checks out. In Acts, Luke’s description of shipping routes is spot on. All archeological evidence supports Luke. The burden of proof is on you to show otherwise.
