Which is more likely to give you valid useful information - a TV show designed for entertainment (even if it doesn't rot your brain very much) or factual accounts of survivors or near survivors/....

One of my survival favourites - its an oldie! Flight of the Phoenix - the original with Jimmy Stewart.

Slightly older than that - Robinson Crusoe.

A not bad but somewhat cliche version of an actual incident Behind Enemy Lines.

Gruesome airplane crash in the Andes Alive.

A Roger Corman classic Last Woman on Earth.

In a similar vein: the last 5 people on earth after nuclear holocaust Five.

There was a very good BBC series a few years ago called "Survivors". I really enjoyed it and was disappointed when it got cancelled after two seasons.

Quote:
"An unknown virus pandemic kills more than 90% of the world's population. Those immune must strive to survive and overcome the difficulties of this new world order, hoping that the virus will not mutate."


Here's a link to the iMDb page about it. This one was made in 2008, but it looks like they made a similar series in 1975, and possibly another in 2015. I think I'm going to check those out! iMDb is a great site to explore if you're looking for new movies or tv shows. Search for something that you like, and it will recommend similar stuff. smile

Dersu Uzala (Akira Kurosawa) has some survival content

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071411/

"The Russian army sends an explorer on an expedition to the snowy Siberian wilderness where he makes friends with a seasoned local hunter."

Watching the "I Shouldn't Be Alive" series from 2005-7 Cannot find any recognizeble title links, though. Perhaps some among these.
I'm sure everyone saw a couple or a bit more already. But there are 20 episodes! Quite thrilling and thought provoking, as we like to say, reconstructions with many details.

There appear to be 68 episodes (not all of them are here, but the majority are):
