Indeed I said something about it too when me and my dad were watching it this evening. I told my dad to see that how they're showing him running around the graveyard I said that's artsy or something like that I remember commenting about it
Spent this morning at Sad Hill Cemetery after driving a few 1000 miles, so why not a few 1000 more, and I can highly recommend the experience. The location is a spectacular location in Northern Spain so worth a holiday
There are times when Robin's sheer passion for cinema is almost palpable through the screen. Usually that happens in the longer DC specials, but sometimes it comes out hard in the small reviews, like it does here. It's one of the reasons why I love this channel so much.
THE GOOD, THE BAD , THE UGLY was a fantastic movie that changed the idea of Westerns forever. Each character was a cold blooded killer seeking revenge and later gold. The graveyard as it was done a barren, stone circle that even dead-er than the graveyard around it. This was the first time I can recall there was a three way showdown in a movie. Those old double action pistol are slow firing, I know , I own one.
Just by chance in 2006 I was in Kyoto and found a little waterfall used in Lone Wolf and Child. I came to tears of joy. I understand your point ,thanks 😊
It always struck me that the graveyard was shaped like an arena, with an audience of the Dead looking on as 3 Old West gladiators faced off against each other.
"Star Wars" I can still remember being a young girl in a crowded theater watching "A New Hope" and that first BLAST of music. It was like someone ring a bell inside my heart; I remember thinking 'This is important. This is important to me."
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is my favorite film of all time. It makes me really happy to know that so many people are this passionate about it. 😇😈👺 👍
*The Good, The Bad & The Ugly* ...yep... *Lee Van Cleef* his face was incredible; being unlike anyone else at that time👍👍👍👍👍🎬📽 that unforgettable theme music that is now on many cell ph ring tones
@@Gappasaurus Its a Ruger Blackhawk Convertible 357 mag/ 9mm. Its not loading that's always the problem. You have to take the spent rounds out one at a time. Three seconds to load, a minute to get the casings out.
I have never been a big fan of Westerns, except for a very select few. In junior high school, my older brother introduced me to the “Man With No Name” trilogy, and over thirty years later, I’ve introduced countless other people to those movies as well, as they have become some of my absolute favorites. Thanks for reviewing this documentary and bringing it to my attention, and I’ve got to say, I’m so happy that I have Netflix! I’m going to share this video with my brother so that he can watch it, too- thanks again for the video, and have a great weekend!
Agree, *Dark Corners Reviews* it is a great story, so glad they did this; their emotions come through. Their names on the head stones is a fantastic tidbit
The one movie I would do this for is being done as we speak. My first real drive-in experience that made me love cinema was Mad Max 2, aka the Road Warrior. Thanks to some super dedicated fans, they are *rebuilding* the refinery from that movie on the exact same site down to every detail and hope to be ready for the 40th anniversary of its release next year. And with George Miller in the country to work on the Furiosa movie, who knows? He might even turn up.
I think it is awesome that we have people so devoted to the things that matter to them. I am not a big fan of cowboy movies in general, but the movie trio of the man with no name is just awesome, and I could very well have been one of those helping restore the site. I only learned about it now, though. The top movies I'd participate in restoring the sets would the original Star Wars trilogy, Alien, Aliens, Bladerunner and Dune.
I'd maybe do a special on a Hitchcock film like the Birds or DeMille's The Ten Commandments. Or maybe the use of Monument Valley in westerns particularly Ford's.
I saw this film when it first came to Netflix. It’s everything you say and then some. Absolutely magnificent and increased my already great admiration for Leone’s film.
I would create the walking scene of Theo and Eleanor from The Haunting of Hill House. This Shirley Jackson novel was made into a 1963 cinema classic. It was never remade, and no other version exists. The movie cuts a scene from the book where Theo and Eleanor walk into the woods and the world becomes a distorted negative image of itself. It is a good cut from the movie in the sense that I don't know that the production could have pulled it off from an SFX point of view. Also, the movie is damn near perfect, as is. I think a wonderful project would be attempting to shoot the scene in a way that could be seamlessly cut into the original film. It would be an insanely difficult thing to do for very little purpose that to be part a truly wonderful movie.
Wow that was emotional, just finished watching the documentary, great stuff, thanks for the recommendation. I would do the same for the Wicker Man if I could... 🌞 Oh, and maybe Dario's Suspiria 🩸
Are there movies that I feel this passionately about? Oh, hell yeah! But the movies I'm thinking of would bring screams of derision if I named them. They're movies that weren't necessarily "great" or even "good." But they made me very happy at times in my life when I needed to be happy. Every time I see them, they remind me. So I guess it's less about how awesome the movie was (or was not) and more about my own reaction to them. Nostalgia?
It's nowhere near comparable to The Good the Bad and the Ugly but I'd like to see "Lion" return to the set of the Titfield Thunderbolt alongside the other surviving vehicles, the Aveling Roller and Morris Cowley.
They reckon the skeleton in this film is of a woman who wanted to act after death' and the director put her in !! Once upon a Time in the West another masterpiece. My favourite western The searchers would be a great review like this. .
For some reason I didn't see this review a year ago when it appeared, but I'm only seeing it now. Well, better late than never. I visited Sad Hill Cemetery three years ago, in 2019. It has certainly become a tourist attraction for moviegoers. If one is a devotee of Sergio Leone's cinema, like me, it is inevitable to feel a very special emotion when visiting Sad Hill. The ending sequence of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is truly legendary, and so charged with emotion and drama that it's impossible not to be moved by seeing Sad Hill in person. The cemetery was built for the film by a unit of Spanish Army Engineers, and the Spanish soldiers served as extras in the film, appearing as Confederate and Union soldiers. The sequence of the blowing up of the bridge is masterful, and there you can appreciate the true military logistics of the preparation of that sequence. Apart from Sad Hill, in that same area there are other things that are very familiar to Leone fans, since there is the old town of San Pedro de Arlanza, which in the film is seen as the San Antonio Mission where Tuco's brother lives; the Arlanza Valley, which provides the landscape for the entire film; and of course, the Arlanza River, which in the film is the Rio Grande, in the battle sequence at Baterville Field. The place where Sad Hill is located is called Sabinares, in the Arlanza Valley, in the province of Burgos. It is a region exceptionally rich in history, as these are the Lands of Lara, the place where the kingdom of Castile was historically born. There are medieval castles everywhere here. If someone visits this area of Old Castile to get to know Sad Hill personally, they may be interested to know that 40 minutes away is the Hermitage of Santa María, in Quintanilla de las Viñas, an ancient Christian church from the 7th century, with a rich decoration of medieval painting full of real and fantastic animals, such as dragons, griffins and chimeras; right there, in Quintanilla de las Viñas, a few minutes away is Salas de los Infantes, with a paleontological site full of fossils and fossilized footprints of Cretaceous dinosaurs, including large sauropods and theropods. And an hour from there, there is also Santo Domingo de Silos, with its Benedictine Monastery, one of the great artistic treasures of Europe, with its Romanesque and Gothic works of art (and, again, a great collection of gargoyles, monsters and fantastic beings in its decoration), where you can still hear the masses with the Gregorian chant of the monks.

My favorite movie. Best ending ever. I never heard of this documentary. Thanks, man
The sequence before the gunfight, with Tuco running around the graveyard, is majestic.
I once heard it referred as a montage and that was almost blasphemous to describe that scene
I think a big part of it lies in the music score on that scene, "The Ecstasy of Gold". I love that piece.
@@havareriksen1004 Indeed, those films wouldn't have been half so effective without their astonishing scores.
Indeed I said something about it too when me and my dad were watching it this evening. I told my dad to see that how they're showing him running around the graveyard I said that's artsy or something like that I remember commenting about it
‘The Ecstasy Of Gold’, simply the most exhilarating mixture of film and music ever
Spent this morning at Sad Hill Cemetery after driving a few 1000 miles, so why not a few 1000 more, and I can highly recommend the experience. The location is a spectacular location in Northern Spain so worth a holiday

Ennio Morricone is a Legend!

You mean single-action, but, not so slow for Clint!
@@varanid9 Ya. I guess I made myself look stupid on that one.
@@danddoty3981 LOL, no sweat, we knew what you meant.

Wow great stuff what a find, a terrific series...
Lone Wolf and Cub. Nice. Got to see all 6 films in a theater a few years ago.
It always struck me that the graveyard was shaped like an arena, with an audience of the Dead looking on as 3 Old West gladiators faced off against each other.
In a separate review the host said the same.You must have seen it-"in a kind of an arena with only the dead watching".
"Star Wars"

It would be interesting to see if any of the sets from "Once Upon A Time In The West" are still around.
They were around for a long time. They might still exist.
A few buildings still stand today from the Flagstone Set. It should have been preserved, would've made a great attraction and alot of money.
I’d totally do something like this for The Third Man.
You are going to restore the Vienna sewers?
@@SomePeopleCallMeWulfman I think that’d be a great idea!

That's awesome. I had no idea this was done. Probably my favorite movie of all time.

I honestly thought it was called 'Sand Hill' cause of Eli's pronunciation.
The man who crosses Tuco and leaves Tuco alive, that man knows NOTHING of Tuco!
What the hell is this? One bastard goes in, and another comes out!
Probably my favourite genre of films and second favourite pasta 🍝
This was a great review, I love your work and you captured all the emotions of this project. Good work

"Cleopatra" (1963). The sets and costumes looked big and colorful.

I luv Eli Wallach too he is/was such a good actor; he was great in: *Baby Doll*
Thanks for pointing this one out guys, cuz previously it was...

how did the stones get covered over in the first place?
Such passion is only for the living.
The Ecto-Mobile from Ghostbusters... that was restored as well :)
Lawrence of Arabia, or Excalibur!

Anyone know how to watch this now? It isn't on Netflix anymore, at least not in the US.
Looks like it is currently on Apple TV if that is any use.
The monorail in Fahrenheit 451 comes to mind...
Great
