In London we meet the Chelsea Pensioners, in Spain we attend a Madrid Bullfight and visit the Basque country (Basque Country 1&2). Somewhere between a home movie and a cinematic essay, these short films have been described by French critics as the missing link in Welles' work.

Okay okay okay, The Bachelorette isn’t a movie, but it’s a big fish on American television. (Do you know about the Basque contestant on this season’s Bachelorette? Read all about it!) Banking off of the popularity of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe as the filming location for Dragonstone in Season 7 of Game of Thrones, The Bachelorette’s 13th season paid ...
A futuristic space opera starring big names Mila Kunis, Channing Tatum, Sean Bean, and Eddie Redmayne from the creators of The Matrix franchise, the Wachowskis. You’d think with such big names attached to the film that I would have heard of it! Despite the star power of the cast and the past success of the creators, Jupiter Ascending was a box offi...
Directed by Ridley Scott with a screenplay by award-winning writer Cormac McCarthy, The Counselor was another film that promised so much and delivered little. Ridley Scott blamed the studiofor the box office bomb, criticizing their marketing campaign, but I can tell you that this is just a terrible movie. I saw it in theater with my friend, knowing...
Beginning in Saint Jean-Pied-de-Port and following along the Camino Francés over the Pyrenees and through Pamplona, The Way shows many sights of the Basque Country in the beginning of the film. The Way is a bit of a father-son affair: written, directed, and produced by Emilio Estevez and starring his father Martin Sheen. The story follows a grievin...
That’s right, James Bond was in the Basque Country! The 19th Bond film and third starring Pierce Brosnan shot a few scenes in Bilbao. You can spot the Guggenheim Museum and Jeff Koons’ Puppy in the pre-title scenes right at the beginning of the movie. Need I say more? Watch the intro to the movie shot in Bilbao: You can watch the full movie here.
Heading back a little further in time, we have Robin and Marian, a Robin Hood movie starring Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn. The film marked Hepburn’s return to acting after an eight year hiatus. The Urbasa mountains and Orgi forest of northwestern Nafarroa served as a backdrop for several scenes, but it is the town of Artajona just south of Pampl...
Recently redone in 2017, the original 1973 hit film starred Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman. Based on the 1969 autobiography of French convict Henri Charrière, the movie follows the attempts of Charrière, known as Papillon, to escape from prisons and labor camps in French Guiana after being wrongfully convicted of murder. Town scenes at the beginn...
This next movie was directed by the same director as Papillon, Franklin J. Schaffner. Think his experience shooting in the Basque Country for Patton inspired him to return? Either way, it’s only fitting to begin this description of Patton with its director, as he won the Academy Award for Best Director for his work on this movie. This epic war movi...
Of course, last but not least, the story that brought San Fermin and Pamplona to the attention of American audiences. Based on Ernest Hemingway’s novel of the same name, this film adaption of The Sun Also Risesstars Tyrone Power, Ava Gardner, Mel Ferrer and Errol Flynn. Most of the movie was shot in Michoacan, Mexico, but some scenes were shot in B...
So there you have it! And for good measure, let me just remind you that this 1998 music video by Jermaine Dupri featuring Mariah Carey was shot in and around the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao soon after it opened: (That Guggenheim really is popular, isn’t it?)
