Crossroads (1986)

You certainly won't get the blues from this musical adventure, though you might groove to the soundtrack by Ry Cooder and Eugene Martone. In "Crossroads" (1986), Ralph Macchio plays a musical prodigy studying at New York City's Julliard School, who becomes devoted to the music of the Mississippi Delta. He goes on a journey to find a famous blues man, played by Joe Seneca, who in turn wants to use the boy to reclaim his soul from the Devil. This contest-winning script by John Fusco is a modern retelling ofthe Faust story with wickedly good tunes.
