Looking through the Survivor genre, I just get a lot of lost at sea, walking in the mountains type of movies, which dont really scratch the itch.

I'd say that a good example is The Martian, also maybe 127 Hours. Any recommendations?
I second this, would love to hear other movie recommendations in this genre.

If you don't mind reading, I highly recommend Andy Weir's second book, Project Hail Mary, which I think I liked more than the Martian.
