Not sure what it all means about me as a person but for some odd reason, I love movies where a small group of people (3-10) are stranded in the wilderness, in the desert, on the ocean, on the moon, etc.. I even find the thought to be a sleep aide ..... I'll close my eyes and visualize myself as part of such a situation. Setting up a camp, improvising with what nature provides, keeping a watch for outlaws, bears, poisonous snakes, Amazonian men-hating women and other assorted dangers. Usually I'm asleep before my mind wanders too far. I draw the line though when it comes to films depicting the eating of your deceased group members. Just can't see myself partaking.
Examples of movies I enjoy ...... Lifeboat, Flight of the Phoenix, Last of The Comanches, Back From Eternity .... to name a few.
Not too fond though of the solo individual stranded in the wild, type of film. Being locked out of an apartment late at night in 30 degree weather also falls into this category, seeing as that plot line actually happened to me before. Just not as romantic. I need to see people working together, even if they are not co-existing together all that effectively.
