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?

Cliffhanger is a type of survival film. Cliffhanger (film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Survival on the Mountain is another. Survival on the Mountain (1997) (TV)
Amazon.com has an "Essential Climbers Survival Movie Collection" available - Amazon.com: "Essential Climbers Survival Movie Collection"

Alive is a pretty good survival film. Alive (1993) - Plot summary

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.

Great, thanks!

Into Thin Air - great documentary.

The film "the condemned" popped into my head.

Touching the void
The beckoning silence

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.

The Edge, with Anthony Hopkins. Superb film!

Into the wild
Flight of the Phoenix
