Favorite Survival Movies?

Deliverance----Loved the trick ending.
Nanook of the North----Authentic, real, searing.
Jeremiah Johnson----I just liked it.
Kon Tiki----Different; A documentary with a point to make.
 
Shoot to Kill- with Tom Berringer,Sydney Poitier,Kirstie Alley. Tom Berringers character uses a Gerber BMF. I think its a cool movie.

TV shows

Survivorman - Les Stroud has his moments but overall he's got some skills.

Movie

The Hunted, with out that movie I would have never have found out about Tom Brown's Survival classes. Those classes have proved invaluable every time I step outside.
 
The Tribe of Joseph - not easy to find this movie but you won't forget it.

Ofelas - is another hard to find movie well worth watching.
 
I will have to say "snow walker" and "the edge" I like anthony hopkins as an actor.
 
O.K. , I know that the Hunted is one of the favorites around here but I gotta complain. The plot let me down, It's like they wanted to make the story more complex but decided to dumb it down in the cutting room. For instance:

The hunters, were they hunters or were they soliders hunting Del Toro?

If they were hunters, why were they not freaked when the guy starts hunting them?

Why did they have military grade optics on their hunting rifles?

If they were military, how come it was never mentioned again in the movie?

I just dont know, I like the movie but It seems like it could have been better.

I liked the part with Stallone crying and yelling where he said
" SKKJH RFIKKW HKFHH WQO OLFDH FDKDS "
"hJHFD !!! "
What a great actor ! :rolleyes: :D
 
I like First Blood. Remember, Sylvester Stallone is an Academy Award winning writer and an Academy Award nominated actor. Looking forward to Rambo 4 next year, after a long hiatus I wonder what they'll come up with. Stallone said he wanted to go back to the beginning and have a more realistic story, no more one man army nonsense. I hope it works out.
 
aye aye me hearties- Maryanne it is! such a wholesome country lass with no illusions about the birds and the bees! Christ where is she now?- she'd be 60 odd years methinks..

What I disliked about the Hunted was all the *animal rights* jargon thrown into the script. Like what transpired between del Torro's character and the female FBI agent, but it didn't end or begin there. As far as the hunters maybe being Gov. hit men, maybe on the surface they were. But with all of the ARA undertones and subliminal messaging in the script, I'm assuming that the hunters were being shown as over equipped, shoot at anything that moves slobs and Del Torro's character was actually the hero that died for a greater cause. Yeah I know. No one but me saw it. :(
 
Hi Folks,

Well I have watched a number of the films mentioned in the above postings, "Red Dawn" was a film I saw on VHS years ago and then couldn't find again, then it came up on TV a couple of years back, "Lost" was just wierd but a classic over here was "SURVIVORS", though not a film it did run to 38 50 minute episodes over three years back in the 1970's, they did a lot of the filming with outside broadcasting cameras as "Video" was in its infancy at that time. Each episode took about two weeks to make, and they only got about 7 or 8 episodes ready before it was put on TV.

So what was it about, basically it followed a small group of survivors of a global pandemic that had killed over 99% of the world population, it covered what might happen to society should such an event happen.

For anyone interested in finding out more they should check out the web site that has been created at www.survivorstvseries.com it might not be relevent to "Survival Techniques" discussed on this forum, but it was quite informative.
