I might not get around to watching this one; but, based on what I read here, I’m reminded of a 70s back shelf film I love to this day — “Breaking Away”. Some Indiana kids are coming of age, trying to figure out what to do with their lives. The film was remarkably carried along by themes of bicycle racing, opera and things Italian.
Think I’ll watch it again soon.

There is the landscape and a young man, 22, just a boy really I'll stipulate that it's a good movie. Haven't seen it and don't want to get in an argument about it.
Since when, exactly, is a 22 year old man "just a boy"???

The best movies, the ones that stick with you, tend to not be the big-budget Hollywood blockbusters with the obligatory chase scenes, violence, profanity, catch phrases and big name actors.
One such movie was "Das Boot" which is about life in a German U-boat during WW2.

It’s not available on Netflix, and I’ll check Amazon Prime Video later.

The Man from Snowy River. Tom Burlinson (a Sinatra-style vocalist as well as actor).
More mainstream, but based upon a period poem about a real cowboy (apparently) down under.
They got the best riders available for the authentic and astounding horsemanship.
