On Tabernas and coincidence

Howdy Kids,
I feel like sharing this pic with you all.
A great image from artist Storm Thorgerson. I was looking this morning for some inspiration and found this one.
Shot has been shotted from a typical western-movie angle, in a town called Tabernas. Google learned me this is a ‘little’ hollywoodvillage in spain, where some movies were shot.
Check out Google images for more pics of Tabernas.
Anyone know more movie sets that were used in Western movies? This would make a nice map!

Cheers
Zap

    Spaghetti Western? Spaghetti mathematics! The top 20 list is made of 185 titles (no they aren’t 179 since some numbers are repeated and some other missing) 🙂

    Nice to see that The Good (named Biondo in Italian version) is at the first place.

    I think I’ve seen all Sergio Leone movies more than once, and few other titles in this list.

  2. ZaPaTa says:

    Yep Indeed, great movie!
    Maybe it got something to do with the fact that the director wasn’t Italian, so it’s not an Spaghetti Western?

  3. JippiJaYeah says:

    What a list, but were are the “The Magnificent Seven”.

  10. ZaPaTa says:

    Ah true, That’s El Paso. I remember watching a Sergio Leone movie and noticing ‘Eh! that place is a map in SG’ but I never remember the exact name of that map. Mystery solved, it’s El Paso.
    Any other settings you know? Cheers!

  11. JippiJaYeah says:

    Love El Paso – i grew up from 1972 to 1975.

  12. Biondo says:

    Yees … it’s true, it’s ElPaso. And ElPaso map was inspired by Sergio Leone movies (filmed in Tabernas). The circle is closed.

    Nice composition/photo anywhow.

  13. JippiJaYeah says:

    Thats the map El Paso.

  14. JesseJames says:
