172 hours is actually a sad movie though. he remember everything he did when his arm was still tangled. the best survivla movie i've seen so far is " i am legend."
Die hard (all of its parts) is really nice movie in that case of survival thingy.. Lead actor again & again survives lolz..
Some of these are heavier on the survival aspect than others: Zombie / zombie-type movies: 28 Days Later
Its not a movie, yet. But the book The Hunger Games is incredible. Definitely a book about survival. I'd check it out once you watched all the recommended movies in this thread...
Best survival movies, I have seen last - 127 Hours and The Next Days. Both are good survival movies and really worth to watch.
