Don't know if these have been mentioned, but here's a few that come to my mind:
Death Hunt (1981) - Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin et al man-hunt picture set in the Canadian Yukon wilderness.
Seraphim Falls (2006) - Pierce Brosnan, Liam Neeson et al man-hunt picture set in mountain and desert wilderness.
White Fang (1991) - Ethan Hawke, Klause Maria Brandauer et al in the Jack London story set in the Yukon wilderness.
Crusoe (1988) - Aidan Quinn et al in a really good telling of the Robinson Crusoe story set on a tropical island.

I'm a big fan of The Man Who Would Be King - great cast, direction, and location. "Now listen to me you benighted muckers! We are going to teach you soldiering, the world's noblest profession. When we're done with you you'll be able to stand up and slaughter your enemies like civilized men!..Good soldiers don't think! They just obey. Do you suppose if a man thought twice he would give his life for queen and country? Not bloody likely. He wouldn't go near the battlefield. One look at your foolish faces tells me you are going to be crack troops! Oh him there, that fellow with the five and a half hat size has the makings of a bloody hero!"

Jeremiah Johnson The Revenant The Blair Witch Project Paint Your Wagon Haven't seen The Revenant yet, and will probably never see The Blair Witch Project, but I really enjoyed and appreciated Jeremiah Johnson, one of the best of it's kind, I think. But I could never bring myself to fall in love with Paint Your Wagon, despite its virtues. Don't know why. A couple more come to mind: The Bear (1988) www.imdb.com/title/tt0095800/?ref_=nv_sr_3. And Annaud's other really interesting film, Quest for Fire (1981) www.imdb.com/title/tt0082484/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_lk1 And this one, too: Dances with Wolves (1990). Loved that one, with John Barry's great score. Oh, how you are missing out!

Wilderness of any kind - desert, mountains, prairie, woodlands, the sea. It doesn't mean there can't be a few scenes in a town or village, but it should primarily take place in the wilderness, or a home in the wilderness. I'll start with these: The Wind (1928) The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) Dersu Uzala (1975) Walkabout (1971) Never Cry Wolf (1983) Adventures Of The Wilderness Family(1975) and several sequels, great scenery from Western Canada

I have to agree with the Wilderness Family and it's two sequels. Great family films that I treasure. I grew up with those films. Robert Logan was a great actor that didn't really have a lot of credits to his name. Another film of his set in the wilderness was "Shipwrecked" or "The Sea Gypsies". Another family friendly movie about a family shipwrecked off the coast of Alaska with a castaway. They endure setting up a shelter, hunting for food, fending off bears and a killer whale and discovering a mysterious cabin. I often wonder if the crashed plane they find was owned by the builder of the cabin. I watched that film so many times. I have it on VHS as it is unfortunately not on DVD or even laserdisc.

In Search of a Golden Sky(1984)
My Side of the Mountain(1969)
both great family films, although Golden Sky is is pretty corny. It stars John Carpenter staple, George Buck Flower. Flower co-produced and co-wrote it. I stumbled across it at my library, and then ordered it on DVD.
Jeremiah Johnson(1972)

I’ll second The Adventures of The Wilderness Family, Sea Gypsies, and The Savage is Loose, which are all great films; the latter of which was a rather controversial film for its time.
And I’ll add Alone in the Wilderness, the story of Dick Proenneke.

Man in the Wilderness Flight of the Phoenix (original) - though the wilderness is an endless desert North Face (mountain climbers) I'd heard that Man in the Wilderness was the same true story as in The Revenant, meant to check it out back then but still haven't seen it.
