Live Poll: Best Survival in the Wilderness Movie

Hoekkie,

My vote:
Cast Away (2000)

Are you limiting your poll to humans surviving in the wilderness? If not, for your consideration:
Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey
Three pets (Chance, a young dog unfamiliar with the world; Shadow, an aging, wise dog; and Sassy, a snobby cat) are left behind when their family goes on vacation. Unsure of what happened, the animals set out on a quest to find their family. This journey across America is very dangerous and the animals risk never seeing their masters again. The group of pets travel across forested mountains and areas of wide-open countryside, while their family searches for them in the same areas.

The first one sounds like the name of a porn movie but let me assure you that it is not.
- The Naked Prey (1965)

Into the Wild (2007) would get my vote; what an amazing film.

- Lifeboat
- The Adventures Of Sadie(1953)
Choosing the two highest raking FEATURE FILM adaptions of this story: Robinson Crusoe (1954) and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, a Sailor from York (1982).

Alpha (2018) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4244998/?... looks like it is going to be a good one two. But it comes out next year in March. Damn , Damn, DAMN!!!!! I want to see it NOW!

While not exactly a survival story, any attempt to climb this mountain, the world most dangerous mountain to climb, becomes a survival story, K2
Ever taken a trip down a dangerous river?
- The African Queen

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled The guy in Into the Wild does not survive. Shouldn't be on list, eh?.

Into the Wild

Add "Deliverance."

Hoekkie's poll Best Survival in the Wilderness Movie is the 225th poll to reach 10,000 votes. It currently has 13,796 votes with a rank of 102.

Man In The Wilderness starring Richard Harris should be in the poll. It's the same story that The Revenant is based on but it was made in the 70's and also stars John Huston as the man who leaves the main character to die. It's the movie that would get my vote.

Firstly. Adrift is not a Survival movie. I think I saw another in list where all the important characters die. As surviving is the the very definition of a survival movie it might be an idea to look at that part. :) 

Secondly. You might want to break this list down to true story and fiction. It's just too big a gap between reality and studio story survival.
