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.....

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.
Tracks Across the High Plains...Death on the Bombay Line...A Touch of Death and Mayhem...Dead Rock...The Griswald Mine Boys...All On Amazon Books.
So many movies have their roots in survival. Think about all of the WWII movies, especially any depicting the Battaan Death March.
some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

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.
The Great Escape about WWII escape from a Nazi POW camp it starseither Paul Newman or Steve McQueen I can't remember which.

What about Red Dawn. Sort of a survival movie.
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 :]
The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes.

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.
