A bit retro...but, Jeremiah Johnson is right up there. A good young peoples one is My Side of the Mountain. Book better than movie. :-) Classic stuff there.
I have never seen the Jeremiah Johnson movie but I have read the book Mountain Men by Vardis Fisher and it was a very very good book.
Tom Hanks in Castaway was good. I thought the scene with the toothache was very realistic, showing how medical issues considered minor in our modern world, are very troublesome in a survival setting.
Great choice. And they served him king crab at his homecoming.
The Edge is an outstanding movie. A real sleeper. To me it's realistic in that it rapidly goes past the point in time where you've run through your stash and true survival kicks in. The ending, and the man with waxed together shotgun shells, and his family, shows there is hope.
My farorite part of the book (after the event):
wife: what's happening? why are you taking a bath?
man: i'm not.Good 1.
Like the previous poster said, the movie is Alive (1993). Unreal.

The Edge! Yes! Total sleeper, well worth watching. That bear was about the ultimate villian. Nicholson could play a better pshyco than Bart the Bear. Lol. Lots of good ss&p movies. Bell, I havent seen Red Dawn(tbe original ) mentioned yet. Good one there.
I don't consider vampires, fantastic beasts, or zombies to be survival concerns. The economy, the whole government financial mess, the whole governmental move from a constitutional government to a dictatorship provide me with ample concerns. A few suitcase nukes might cause some concern; thankfully, I'm far from any likely target areas.
My favorite is classic, Lord of the Flies. Also love Mad Max and Reign of Fire.
