I don’t watch as many movies as I used to, but I still enjoy a good survival movie from time to time. They’re usually not very realistic, but I don’t care about that. I’m not trying to learn survival skills from movies, anyway. I enjoy them because they’re inspirational and they make me think.You can’t discount the value of inspiration. Preparedness can be boring sometimes, but if you’ve just seen a movie about people surviving a disaster against all odds, suddenly boring tasks like pulling weeds in your or inventorying your supplies become interesting again. And even if the movie isn’t inspirational, it could make you think of a problem or situation you never considered before, which will help you round out your preps.Want to save this post for later?
These are, in my opinion, the 100 best survival movies (that I’ve seen). A few things I want to mention first: I stayed away from the really over-the-top movies like 2012 or The Day After Tomorrow. I also avoided movies about aliens (like Independence Day) and Zombies (like Dawn Of The Dead). Although I like those movies, including them all would have made this list twice as long.For the same reason, I also didn’t include any documentaries (although many of these movies are based on true stories).The movies are in alphabetical order, and for each movie I included a link to the DVD on Amazon.com. From there you can select Blu-Ray, Amazon Video, or any other format you prefer (if they’re available). Now on to the list:1.

I got news for everybody if real aliens were hostile and came to our planet we would be doomed and would never even get a chance to face our enemy.They would just sit in orbit and drop one artificial plague after another in us.
We would have no chance. With speed of light technology to travel to get here they don’t even need weapons then can just grab asteroids or small pebbles and sand on the way here and release them at the speed of light and they would hit our world so hard it would be just like there was a nuclear war with nuclear winter minus radioactive fallout.No the only chance we have is if the majority of humanity GO VEGAN and hope they judge us by our own actions against our fellow inhabitants of Earth.
There are few recent non-Tarantino films that draw from such a comprehensive, patchwork assemblage of crime cinema as director Malik Bader’s Cash Only. While I know I’m prone to describing a film as a hybrid of other films (with, of course, the intention of letting you know what you’re in for), one cannot help but cross-compare when it comes to this guttural howl of a movie.Blending elements of Mean Streets, Boston gangster fare like Gone Baby Gone, every film in Nicolas Winding-Refn’s Pusher series, Eastern Promises, Spike Lee’s 25th Hour and even the notorious horror flick A Serbian Film, Cash Only is a dark foray into one man’s quest to find his own morality, save his family and walk through hell and back in order to do so. That hell also includes a scene very reminiscent to one of the more oft-quoted Pulp Fiction set-ups.
(And there’s your “if you liked this, you should watch these” paragraph.). The film begins by introducing us to Elvis Martini ( Nickola Shreli), a bald, strapping Albanian-American dude who looks like the lovechild of John Turturro and Juice from Sons of Anarchy. Elvis is a slumlord and single-father. Elvis is also in debt to everyone on both sides of the law in his crooked Detroit hood.
(Kudos to this flick for not hitting us over the head with Detroitisms—what’s more important to the film’s identity is that this slum and its grind could exist anywhere.)Elvis is also dealing with the fact that while burning down his house for insurance money, he forgot to check if his wife was sleeping inside. Thus the single-father thingI think it would be a stretch to call Elvis morally ambiguous.
He’s generally a good dude with a good heart who just happens to have fucked up his family’s life in an unimaginably horrible way. (Enter Mean Streets Christian morality play.) And now, while dealing with that horror, he’s hit with the double-whammy of having to scam cash out of delinquent tennants so that he can keep both his hide and a roof over his daughter’s head. Didn’t Mean Streets already warn us not to play with fire?The first half of the film is more of a character set up, introducing us to Elvis’ colorful acquaintances.
These include a dealer named Kush (played by director Bader) who operates a massive basement growhouse in one of Elvis’ properties. Then there’s his guy the mechanic —another man with one foot in the Old Country and the other still well outside the American Dream. Then there’s the Euro-trash buddy whose fiance Elvis is schtupping on the DL. And then there’s the crazy call girl who Elvis scams for a massive wad of cash after spying on her through these creepy cameras he sets up in his tennants’ homes.I never said Elvis was on the level.The second half of the film jumps from a week of these characters dancing around each other in cash grabs to a rapid, 24-hour search for Elvis to come up with 25 Large. Let’s just say that everything is at stake, and if the first half of the film seemed slow, the second pays off big time. There’s also a climax borne straight out of hell, but I’ll leave the particulars of that experience up to the viewer.
Writer and lead actor Nickola Shreli (LR) channels an Eastern Promises Viggo Mortensen in Cash Only.I know that comparing any film to Mean Streets is a major declaration, and I’m not saying Cash Only at all lives up to that standard. But in the same vein that Scorsese went into Harvey Keitel’s hellfire-laced existential battle with Christianity and showed you the world of his nitty gritty neighborhood through a cast of lovable fuck-ups, the young director Bader ventures into very much the same territory —and with quite an effect, thanks in large part to the standout, naturalistic work of his lead.Remember though I also compared this to the Pusher Trilogy and A Serbian Film. So yeah, don’t expect a doo-wop ride through the quaint streets of old Little Italy. Because shit gets downright medieval on that ass in Cash Only.IMDb: 6.2GRADE: B / B+-Sam Adams.
