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?

Not a movie but if you can find the series "I shouldn't be Alive" they are all great first hand accounts of horrific survivor situations. Production value isn't bad, though the acting is hit and miss. It's a mix of interviews with the people involved and re-creations.
Overall though pretty good. Might find it on one of the streaming services.
