Also, "The Edge" but my favorite is "Red Dawn"

How about "Enemy Mine?"

That is the title of the original story by Richard Matheson. I look forward to it if they are faithful to the story. Quite dark.

For those who like to read: Robinson Crusoe. The middle of the novel is very detailed as to how he survived on the island as a castaway on a day to day basis. Truly fascinating. One of the great reads ever.

"The Berrybender Narritives" by Larry (Lonesome Dove) McMurtry


Movie: The Magnicent Seven; Just about anything by John Wayne, The Zorro movies with Antonyo Bandaras. Let me add Open Range w/Robert Duval and Kevin Cosner. While Cosner is not one of my favorite actors, Robert Duval is; so it kinda evens things out.

The Good, the Bad and The Ugly!

Plus about half the movies you guys mentioned already. But, I didn't get into the alien/predator thing too much. I like the more traditional. Red Dawn would get my vote for best "Survival" type movie.

"Man in the Wilderness" Gritty, bloody saga of a man, left for dead by fellow trappers after being ripped to shreds by a bear.
A true story, though if you want to look it up on the Internet, the mountain man's real name was Hugh Glass (not "Zachary Bass"). He managed (with no equipment or weapons) to get 200-300 miles to Fort Kiowa, and actually took no revenge on either of the two men who left him to die. One, interestingly enough, was a youth -- later very famous -- named Jim Bridger.

The wife wrote this post! I guess I am going to have to password my computer! For the record - I do "snuggle" with the wife, but I hate Steel magnolias and nilla wafers!

Ravenous

And Carpenter's The Thing is just amazing. Blood test scene still gets me.

For something more realistic and fascinating, has anyone else ever seen Never Cry Wolf? That film is awesome, about someone really learning to survive up north.

I'm shocked not to see The Marine up here

Red Dawn
Open Range
Tears of the Sun
Die Hard--this could possibly be the GREATEST survival movie ever!

I never did like John Cena.
