Yes, The Emerald Forest by John Boorman, excellent Amazon jungle film. The Fast Runner, as earlier mentioned, very unique and interesting Innuit tale. One of a kind. Have to be a patient viewer as it takes its time. The Mission is similar to Black Robe , very good. Didn't really like A New World but the cinematography is good. Gulag posted some great recommendations. I'd also recommend The White Dawn (came out in the 70s) and The Naked Prey (late 1960s?) with Cornell Wilde. Aquirre the Wrath of God is a great one too. Fitzcarraldo as well, both by Werner Herzog are amazing films. The documentary on the making of Fitzcaraldo, Burden of Dreams, is something else as well, as an aside! The Last of the Mohicans is a superb film, one of my favorites. It has just about everything you'd want- action, adventure, romance, gorgeous cinematography, great acting. Like someone said earlier it may not be as profound a story as Black Robe, nor as bleak and dark.
