I may not be the target audience that would pay $75 to see it in the theatre but I enjoyed it on my couch. It was a good, not great movie and these days it's getting harder and harder to find merely good movies to watch.

I'm looking for any recommendations for a specific sub-genre of Survivor movies. I don't know if there is an official name, but I'd call it Scavenger Survivor, or maybe McGyver Survivor. It's where the characters use the resources around them to survive a harrowing experience.
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.

Cast Away is a great one but I’m guessing you’ve seen it.
Like you said, lots of lost in the wilderness versions, usually in the cold and snowy mountains.
Rescue Dawn with Christian Bale? Vietnam war based survival.
The original Flight of the Phoenix?
Much harder to find the type of science types like the Martian. Maybe Moon with Sam Rockwell? Not quite as mcgyver like.

Can't vouch for too many of them, but this looks like a good start.

Arctic.
Mads Mikkelsson vs the snow.

I watched David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived last night on Crave. It's a documentary about Daniel Radcliffe's Harry Potter stunt double who was paralyzed doing a stunt before the 7th movie came out.
Definitely a more candid look into Radcliffe's life and thoughts than I was expecting. I think everyone involved could have greatly benefited from some counselling and therapy at the time; kinda didn't paint WB in the best light that they were back filming in a couple of weeks. Also got the sense that Radcliffe felt a little guilty that he didn't really know what to do or say at the time.
Also didn't go unnoticed by my partner and I that, of all the Potter alum, Emma Watson is conspicuously absent from lots of the BTS and archival footage from set.

I watched all 3 Black Christmas movies and I enjoyed each one to varying degrees.
The original is a masterpiece, one of the first slasher films it's so effective and creepy. One of my 10 favorite horror movies ever.
The 2006 remake is good but not great. The cast is peak 2000s awesomeness which really saves it. This is a slight recommendation.
The latest one from 2019 is a Black Christmas movie in name only. Doesn't really follow the same story as the first two, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, why remake the same story again. Doesn't deserve the online hate it gets, however, it's still miles below the original.
Drop Dead Gorgeous is a hilarious movie from 1999 about beauty pageant contestants and their demented families. Some of the jokes are problematic but it’s still worth a watch.
