Survival - Chase Movies

Rescue Dawn and the original documentary Little Dieter Needs to Fly. I thought they both were pretty intense...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Rescue Dawn

Rescue Dawn is a 2007 film starring Christian Bale and Steve Zahn. It is written and directed by Werner Herzog, based on the director's acclaimed 1997 documentary, Little Dieter Needs to Fly. NBA all-star Elton Brand is the film's producer through his production company Gibraltar Entertainment, which he co-owns with partner Steve Marlton. The film was produced in association with Thema Production. The project, which had been coming together in fits and starts during 2004, began shooting in Thailand in mid-August 2005.

The film is based on the true story of German-born Dieter Dengler, who dreamed of being a pilot and eventually made his way to the United States, where he joined the Navy during the Vietnam War era. He became a pilot and was shot down over Laos and captured. Eventually he organized an escape with a small band of captives.

One more after scanning my movie shelf: HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER.

Maybe not too intense as far as action, but after talking to the SH3 and S3 pilots & crews I knew in the navy, I learned how intense sub chases can be.

That's an awesome movie.

Forgot one: The Rock.

I'm lucky, my girlfriend loves both :D
 
Seraphim Falls is a great movie with a great chase. It has lots of knife action and some old school (1880 or so) survival skills.

This is a must see movie.

Great movie, screwy ending. This is kind of a "Son of Moby Dick" film. My best attempt to reconcile it is that at some point, probably everything after the dead horse ambush, they are both already dead.
 
Eye spy with my little eye, a Muela knife heading right for my eye :eek::eek::eek:

I love the fire-making scene after the little dip in the creek!
