I have no idea. I thought it was. Figured if it was up & running it was legal...
Well I am surprised that nobody said one of my favorites that held my interest in my youth. "My Side Of The Mountain" about a teenage boy that runs away and survives in a hollow trunk of a tree!! C'mon don't tell me I'm the only one that saw that one.
I saw a hollow tree, just today.........:clap:Quote:

It's a guy flick but it transcends the category.
Nominated for all kinds of Oscars.
Both Mr. B & I loved it. And that says a lot.
Hulu.com is legal and free. haven't searched for any of the titles mentioned in the thread , but I know they have a series called survival school about the The Air Force S.E.R.E program and a couple zombie movies . And if I had to say a favorite survival movie, I would go with Jeremiah Johnson . No maybe mad max. or maybe red dawn yeah defintly rambo .
Jeramiah Johnson
Red Dawn
I found a good little bushcraft movie at Goodwill called "The Earthling".
A flaky 80's movie with William Holden and "Ricky" Schroder.
Set in Australia, there were some great skills demonstrated through out the movie.
Worth checking out just for the bedroll lean-to combo.
Great movie! Got it Goodwill? Man, what a score! Haven't seen it in years. My favorite sene is when he tells the kid, "They might eat you up and poop you out, and make the flowers grow ,but that don't matter none."... LOL Or something like that. Wish I had it!Quote:

I would add that it's based on the book "Walk Well, My Brother" and is set in 1953 Arctic Canada.
Charles Martin Smith, who you've seen in countless movies, directs this flick and he does a really great job with it. From starting fire with flint to the use of herbal plants I thought it was well acted and well directed.
This is not the greatest flick you'll ever see but a good one. It's entertaining and sort of a throw back to days when movies were just nice and didn't have tons of stuff blowing up and tons of vulgarity.
Most memorable scene: The mosquitoes. Unbelievable. I would not have even made this flick if subjected to that. Pepper is a brave man.
Remember This One ????

One of my favourites.... Northwest Passage starring Spencer Tracy.

Just watched one called Survival Quest. Not bad at all for 1989. Reminded me of Cody Lundin vs. Dave Canterbury.
Hunt To Kill
Action movie that takes place in the forrests near the Canadian border. Some stuff is overdone, but I liked it. Starring Steve Austin.
The Road ! on DVD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=camI8yuoy8U
Wow,,, all I can say is,, keeps Lots of food and bullets around,,
Espically if you are going to do everything wrong that can be done wrong!Quote:

Very few catch the theme of that movie. It is in the last scene and no one catches it.
When the rescue family arrives and the man and boy are talking. The man tellS the kid that he has to make a decision to go with them or set off on his own.
and
If he sets off on his own he absolutely must... STAY OFF THE ROADS!
My take away was different. (not literal)
To me, the ends scene represented faith against all odds, and a glimmer of light in a dark, desperate world.
My take was very similar.Quote:

I've got the question the logic of removing links to torrent trackers which index infringed copyrighted material but leaving youtube links to infringed copyrighted material.
Unlike torrent agregators, Youtube is actually violating copyright law as well as the uploader and downloaders/viewers.
So why does it always seem to need banjo music in these type of movies....gives the banjo and bad name....Well, maybe not......Quote:

That's right, Deliverance.
I shocked that Legends Of The Fall wasn't mentioned.
I was thinking "weeping" willow ? lolQuote:

The best I have ever seen is "Snow Walker," with Barry Pepper and a Native American AK Inuit girl Annabella Piugattuk.
I understand "The clan of the cave bear" is very good,, but i have not read the book or seen the movie yet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIpRSJQtdmg
(looks kinda dumb as i watched that trailer lol)
Ditto. Great movie.Quote:

She does tend to be a bit wordy in describing things but I highly recommend her books.
they are excellent books, but what the movie has over then is a gracefull lack of a lot of needless, flowery sex scenes written in a romance novel style which usually seem forces and out of place but still take up 5-10 out of every 50 pages.
I'm in the middle of watching To Brave Alaska. It's a 90s flick, and a dramatization of a true story about a couple named Roger Lewis and Denise Harris. Not too bad. They sure make a point to make the glaring mistakes the characters make stand out. I wonder if either of them ever worked out a book.
