That was in Yucca Valley, just north of Palm Springs. Much of that area has hardly changed. And in the scene where the gas station is leveled to the ground, the movie crew was actually helping a project that was to be demolished. So the demolition is for real!

Excalibur - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082348/" target="_blank
A really well made of version of the story of King Arthur . It uses a lot of Wagner music ( Prelude to Parsifal, Prelude to Tristan and Isolde, Siegfrieds Funeral March and O Fortuna) in the soundtrack and won an award for it costumes. It also has Patrick Steward ( still with no hair even though it was filmed in 1981) playing Leondengrace ,Guinevere's father.

Here's the trailer on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emF-m9qnF5o" target="_blank

"They Live" is also a good one. It has one of the best fight scenes I've seen in a movie .

Hard Times with Charles Bronson, James Coburn and (one of my favorites) Strother Martin.

It's about underground bare-knuckle fights in New Orleans during the depression (Hoover's - not Obama's). One of the scenes is in a black Baptist church with an incredible gospel choir.

I don't think it's been mentioned already, but I think The Hudsucker Proxy fits the description in this thread. A great work by the Cohen brothers before they were as well known as they are today.

"The Great Scout and Cathouse Thursday." Lee Marvin, and Oliver Reed. Rife with hilarity, and a very humable soundtrack.
