Just got done watching "The Edge"

Its been years and years since I had seen that one, very good. I mean, bar a few things like man killing bears being a "problem" and the fact that they never ate anything and yet had all the energy in the world ... lol I think waay to much

Regardless it was very enjoyable.

Any other recommendations of survival style films?

It was good for what it was, not a survival guide or true to live documentary, but an entertaining movie.

Charles is that rare character I can strongly relate to — his personality, not his plane. Sir Anthony Hopkins did an outstanding job there.

That was filmed outside of my hometown...some friends worked on that set, kind of makes the movie a little more special for me.

A few suggestions of survival films I liked

The Road (2009)

Into the Wild (2007)

The Snow Walker (2003)

Rescue Dawn (2006)

Alive (1993)

I've seen The Road and Alive (although they merit a re-watch tbh) but not seen the rest, will give them a go, thanks

I came across The Snow Walker in YouTube quite by accident some time ago and I was surprised at how good it was.

The Grey (2011)

Into the White (2012)

Jeremiah Johnson (1970ish)

Castaway (2000)

I had no idea that if was filmed in and around Canmore! So stoked when I saw the scene with Ha Ling in the background. And a great movie to boot.

Not a guide you are right however the content features subjects not often thought related to survival but that are essential. Psychology. Attitude.
