I'll second the recommendations of Runaway Train and Black Robe.
Also, two road movies from Icelandic director Fridrik Thor Fridriksson:
Children of Nature - An old man and an old woman cross paths in a retirement home and realize that they know each other: they grew up in the same remote village. Finding their surroundings unbearable, they set off on a pilgrimmage to their long-ago home. Features stunning imagery of Iceland and a cameo by a character from a certain Wim Wenders film.
Cold Fever - A young Japanese man travels to Iceland to perform a ritual for his parents who died there while on vacation. Along the way, he meets lots of eccentric characters, including a larcenous American couple (Lili Taylor and Fisher Stevens) and a chick who's hobby is photographing funerals.
