Cast Away-Like Movie?

Can you guys recommend some movies like cast away? I really like movies that have to do with survival. I've already seen Alive, and Touching the Void. Both were really good. Any other ones I should watch? Thanks in advanced!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The Terminal is kind of like Cast Away. It even has the same starring actor!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

If you don't mind films are that a little older, The Nake Prey is a fantastic movie. Takes place in Africa where this guy is being hunted by a local tribe and he has to survive out in the wilderness on his own while avoiding these crazy local trackers. Awesome soundtrack as well.

I was speaking idiomatically.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Just thought of a good one: 'Walkabout', about two English kids stranded in the australian outback. Good visuals.

Yeah, and when you're done with that, you should watch all the seasons of Gilligan's Island.

Talk about survival.

Are you thinking of "A Far Off Place" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106868/ or is that a different film?

To me, Castaway was about the loneliness that Hank's character encounters, and the endurance of the human spirit. A similar film in my mind would be Dr. Zhivago, therefore. But, I sense you're looking for "adventure" genre films? There are also a lot of different version of Robinson Crusoe: http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=Robinson+Crusoe

I was speaking idiomatically.

How about "Land of the Lost" lol... there might be a TV movie version of that, what with all the different iterations.

If you liked A Far off Place, I remember another movie about kids walking across the desert called Cheetah. http://imdb.com/title/tt0097053/
