Crossroads (1986) (1986)

A wannabe blues guitar virtuoso (the preternaturally youthful Ralph Macchio) seeks a long-lost song by the legendary musician Robert Johnson.

The coming-of-age story is fine, but the real draw is the music, with Ry Cooder pulling the strings on Ralph Macchio's behalf.

A favorite of mine. In my preferred timeline, instead of Cobra Kai, we have a series in which middle aged blues guitarist Ralph Macchio tours the back roads and small towns of America with his hardscrabble band, playing the blues, helping out people in trouble, and fending off minions of a pissed off devil who still wants payback for the humiliation he suffered back in the 80s.
