favorite survival movies

I'm not sure if it has already been posted or not but the movie Wrong Turn with Eliza Dushku (that's a plus) goes along similarly with 28 Days Later as it is people trying to kill other people in the deep woods. Just a thought. Not really a survival movie of living off the land.
 
Hello everyone, how 'bout "Grey Owl" with Pierce Brosnan. He traps, crosses a frozen lake and generaly lives in the 'wilderness'...
 
"Shoot to kill" starring Tom Berrenger,Sydney Poitier, and Kirsty Alley .It features a Gerber BMF pretty promenintly.Look for it on Tom Berrengers pack and in the snow cave. It features a manhunt in the pacific northwest.

"Platoon" It features some Cold Steel knives.
and of course "Predator" :)
 
If I missed it sorry, but has anybody thought about Red Dawn???

Yeah had some cheesy moments, but was a pretty good flick.
 
"A Boy and his Dog" with a very young Don Johnson. out of print, but i found a copy on ebay
 
the Hunger for the neck knives !

The Iron Mistress for the Technicolor

and "Knife" by Khaled Hammada !!!

cheers

Touching the Void is the most dramatic and realistic climbing survival movie ever made.

But then again, there's not too big a field to choose from- K2? Lame.
Vertical Limit? Extremely Lame. The Eiger Sanction? Old school lame.

Didn't see anyone mention it, but i caught this one on PBS while i was out visiting the left coast:

Of course, Proenneke was planning to live out there, brought what he needed, and got resupplied by air, so maybe it wasn't a true survival situation. Still, it was fascinating....

That film "Soldier"(starring Kurt Russell). Especially that "junkyard" planet those people were marrooned on. And how they converted all that "Junk" to useful resourses to build their community.
 
you gotta add enemy at the gates, ill grant you it isnt a traditional survival flick but coering yourself with corpses to keep from being killed sounds like survival to me.
and ditto with behind enemy lines.
last of the mohigans had a survival/tracker feel to it.
i liked the part in lord of the rings when aragorn/strider shows his survival skills while taking the hobbits to rivindell.
i liked the book my side of the mountain but the movie sucked.
and of course RAMBO all of them are great but i think they changed the idea of the movie in 2 and 3, first blood is a true survival film because he faces himself psycologically, faces his enemys, and faces nature. in the book he actually goes through many psycological changes as he goes through the mine but it didnt come across as well in the film. in 2 and 3 he pretty much goes on a killing spree and is relitivly invincible. which is cool too, but i liked the post tramatic stress mood of first blood
 
Is Cast Away really good? I'm so tired of hearing, "Hey Mr. FedEx man, have you seen Cast Away?"
