Default The Good, The Bad and The Ugly: 50 years later reenactment

The famous Sad Hill Cemetery shootout climax. Filmed in the exact same location in Spain as the original.

A reenactment of Blondie's final insult to Tuco would be funny.

"Hey, Blondie! You know what you are? Just a dirty son of a- AH-AH-AH-AAH! WAH-WAH-WAH!"

The three movie trilogy, "A fistful of dollars", "For a few dollars more," and "The good, bad, and ugly," filmed in 1964, 65, and 66*, were all filmed in Spain, mostly in Andalucía. I lived in Andalucía from 1969 to 71.

To put it mildly the scenes look very familiar to me. I have actually been to many of the little towns and locations, just incidentally, not as a film tourist.

I really miss living there. The trouble is, that small house I rented for the equivalent of $35 a month, now rents for 2000 Euros a month.

*released in 1967.

They've actually restored the cemetery to more or less as it appeared in the film since the video was made, cleared 50 years of overgrowth and the stone center circle is visible again. They even gave Arch Stanton a new grave marker.

That part of Spain looks very pretty. It would be interesting to visit there. And of course I would make a pilgrimage to Sad Hill.

Default Ecstasy of Gold remake

Another GBU amateur remake, 'The Ecstasy of Gold.' Pretty good camera/tracking work as in the original scene.

Amazing how Sergio Leone could make a scene of a guy running through a cemetery such a classic by using great editing, and of course Ennio Morricone's outstanding score.

This is a movie that should never be remade (officially). No remake could ever outdo it.
