Survival Movies

[DOGMAN]

Grey Owl is a great film.

Also, a film from Norway called "the Pathfinder" is awesome. It has a lot of traditional scandanavian lifeways in it

...The Happening. It was "Okay" as far as I go, but both my wife & son really enjoyed it a lot more than me. I just thought that M. Night S. could have done a lot more with the premise that he developed. But then I've always felt that he was a "Stephen King Wannabe". (just my opinion guys.)

The Sound of Music. Yeah, yeah, yeah.......but if you consider the story of the Von Trapp family.....

[Sarge47]

I think the most recent (2007) "best survival movie" has to be "rescue dawn".

I loved that movie so much I bought a copy. Outstanding film!

[Gray Wolf]

Dieter Dengler was captured not once but twice in real life. The scene where he was captured while drinking from a river is based on his second capture.

Aney one see A challagen to be free ( I thanks that the name of the move) about a traper around the turn of the century in Canada of Alaska. He shoot someone in self defence and Is being chased by the local lawenforcement. Thair is a few good senes like when he dry saves the traper that started the trouble with an ax, and when he kills a big horn sheep with his hands (not very likley but fun to watch).

Misery with James Caan...The Ghost and the Darkness with Micheal Douglas...Zulu with Michael Caine....and Schindler's List with Liam Neeson. Great survival movies all.

So many movies have their roots in survival. Think about all of the WWII movies, especially any depicting the Battaan Death March.

The Sound of Music. Yeah, yeah, yeah.......but if you consider the story of the Von Trapp family.....

Well, obviously we all have to agree, after all they weren't the Von Trapped family, so uh, yeah....you know...Hey is that Julie Andrews over there? (slips out while they all have their heads turned to check)

If everything else fails, you can always get lost in Zooey's eyes...and wander.
A.

I agree with your take on the movie Remy, it was excellent. The only reason I saved that little bit of the quote was because, with Zooey's eyes...yes indeed one can ...wander

[trax]

that looks amazing.

The Snow Walker is in my opinion a great survival movie and also written by Farley Mowat. I also like Rambo 4 as it was made where I live. I also like Death Hunt, Apocalypto, and a movie whose name I cannot recall but it was about American pilots shot down in Laos during the Vietnam War.

Or the Mad Max Trilogy

[Foxman]

I don't know if this is the right title... But Jerimiah Johnson. Or my favorite that I know is right are the Adventures of Francis Tucket. They only aired a few time and not many people care for them. But I have them on tape :]

How about "The Mountain Men" Charlton Heston, "The Day After Tommorrow", Castaway had me screaming at the screen because of all the things he did wrong. The Great Escape is actually more of an evasion movie than a survival movie. Here is another one "Walkabout" it is an austrailian movie. And of course there is Crocadile Dundee and Quigley Down Under.
