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?
There is also the sub-sub-genre based on the Most Dangerous Game. My favorites are the released back-to-back Hard Target and Surviving the Game. You might also enjoy the last Riddick movie or Fincher's The Game.
