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?

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.

Just coming back to this topic a few pages ago. Based on some recs here and elsewhere, I've watched Arctic 2018 and Trapped 2016, and both are good examples of scavenging survivor movies. Trapped has subtitles and may be a bit harder to find though, but I yelled at my TV a few times on how I'd do a better job
Both recommended!
