My fiancé loves survival films - particularly mountaneering films where people are stranded, or there is a plane crash.
Does anyone know any good films like that?

Joe Simpson, the guy from Touching the Void, has a new film out called The Beckoning Silence. It`s about a real life ascent of the Eiger`s north face, and it`s very good.
I don`t know if it`s out on dvd yet, but if it is you should check it out.

The white spider seems to be a good movie, didn't see it,
Its about the first people to climb the north face of the mount everest,
Touching the void and the beckoning silence are films of 2 guys surviving on the north face telling about their adventure, in one of the 2 one of the guys is mentioning the white spider.
