I watched Alive the other night. According to survivors of the 1972 plane crash, this movie is pretty much true to life. I think Alive is a forgotten gem of a movie. Check it out.
This is probably in my top three of all-time favorite movies. There is something about true survival stories that intrigues me.
I recently saw a History Channel show about the story. Nando Parrado and Roberto ?, the two who walked out and found help, narrated parts of it by telling the story in first person. The movie was pretty true to what happened, but there is more detail that you don't know in the movie. For example, when they reached the first summit and looked toward the west, they had also looked east and thought they saw a road but didn't want to go east because they thought they were in Chile. It turns out it was a road, and that there was a hotel 18 miles east of where they were. They don't tell you that in the movie.
EDIT: I just saw your other post, and it appears you watched the same show.

Just watched this over the weekend (saw it years ago). I love this movie!
I've thought of another one. The jungle-town scenes in Roy Scheider's "Sorcerer" were amazingly accurate and true to life. I believe it was shot in Dominican Republic.
Another true story movie that is worth keeping, to watch again.
"Something the Lord Made" is about two men, one educated and the other...a black man without a college degree who was so adept with his hands. Together they pioneered the field of open heart surgery....
I highly recommend this movie to everyone!
