Before we rank the “best” survival movies, we should get definitional.

“Survival” can be as broad or as narrow a genre as one makes it. The natural disaster, the wake of human conflict, war, the day-to-day struggle for sustenance, the stranded/trapped/marooned traveler or explorer—all these can be “survival.” Technically, every movie about war is also a movie about survival. Every movie about abuse, loss, grief, poverty—those can also be survival movies, though “survival” less existentially defined. It’s obviously a wide genre, and we likely missed one or two or twenty-seven movies that could be on this list; we chose instead what we thought were some of the best of the sub-genres. Those genres: adventure survival, disaster survival, survival horror, post-apocalyptic survival, and real-life survival. They come in the form of documentaries, animated features, summer blockbusters, and art house cinema. (Short films would probably fill up a whole other list.) We tried to pick movies where “survival” is more narrowly defined. These are movies where the protagonist’s very life—and not just their means or mental stability—is under threat. The motivating tensions is basic, elemental: will they live? We’ve chosen films where this tension comes as a surprise, where the protagonist meets the existential threat unknowingly, and either alone or with a small group of companions. Storming a beach with an army under gunfire, while a threat to one’s life, is not “survival” in the way we are defining it. Receiving a mission that sends only two soldiers into the unknown, however—this drama can become “survival.”

We’re also favoring more modern films, if only for easier access to streaming, and also because we know we’re going to piss off some film purists anyway—so why not make our own rules?
