Very happy to see mentions of Letters Never Sent, The Big Trail and Walkabout.
Nobody could shoot Monument Valley like John Ford, so most of his Westerns.
Also consider the final 30 minutes of Von Stroheim's Greed (1925), which were shot in Death Valley. The heat is oozing from the screen.
And then obviously the Tarzan films, of which Tarzan and his Mate not only has plenty of wilderness but also the kind of wild nude swimming sequence.
And only last week I re-watched Apocalypse, now, probably my favorite film of all time, not in the least because of the jungle scenes and the final act in Kurz's jungle/river construction in Cambodia.
