100. The Mosquito Coast
This Harrison Ford movie is a little different than his norm, in my opinion. He desires to move his family to the jungle to start his own civilization with the perfect family. Over time, as he tries to transform his own family, it brings out a really negative side to him and causes issues in the family.
101. The Naked Prey
A group of men went hunting in the African jungle and angered the local tribes. They were captured and tortured mercilessly. Only one man is released, totally naked to be hunted for sport.
102. The Omega Man
When one man fears he is the only one to survive a worldwide outbreak of a disease that kills all of mankind, he tirelessly works to create a cure from his own blood.
103. The Poseidon Adventure
A man is able to lead a rescue for a group of individuals who were trapped in an overturned luxury cruise ship.
104. The Postman
This movie has a great storyline. The apocalypse has happened and people are left beaten down and drained. Therefore, they are being controlled. Until a man finds a postman uniform. Then he begins to fulfill typical postman duties, such as delivering letters, and this encourages people to stand up and fight.
105. The Day After Tomorrow
When a scientist realizes that the world is getting ready to face a tremendous outbreak of weather, he desperately tries to warn everyone. Unfortunately, it’s too late.
106. Fifth Wave
Cassie is a girl in this movie who is preparing for the 5th wave of alien attacks on this planet. She must save herself and her younger brother. She teams up with another young guy along the way, and they form a team prepared to fight in order to survive.
107. The Maze Runner
A young man wakes up in a giant maze with other young men. He has no recollection of life outside of the maze. He tries to piece it all together in order to find out why he is there and what he was created to do.
108. Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials
My husband and I began watching these movies by channel surfing one day. We instantly became hooked. They are based on best selling novels, and this is the continuing story of the original Maze Runner movie.
109. The Hunger Games
This is the first of many movies and novels based around a society that chooses to hunt people down on a reality TV show. You must win in order to live.

This is the sequel to the original Hunger Games film. After the main characters won the original Hunger Games they are quickly whisked into yet another tour set up by the president.
111.The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Parts 1 and 2
These are the final movies in the series of Hunger Games. The main character ends the Hunger Games forever, but now she must fight to save her co-star and her nation.
112. Titanic
I loved this movie when it first came out. It too is a movie of survival when two young lovers have to fight to survive as the Titanic (the unsinkable ship) meets its doom when it unexpectedly collides with an iceberg.
113. Sully
Sully was an average man who flew planes for a living until a dreadful day where his plane malfunctioned, and he had to land it in the Hudson River. Then he had to get all of his crew and passengers to safety. This is his true story.
114. Bridge of Spies
This is probably one of my favorite movies. It tells the survival story of two potential spies from two very different countries. Then one man intervenes to bring them both home.
115. Twister
Our final movie is one about storm chasers. When there is a large outbreak of tornadoes, scientists and storm chasers jump at the chance to get their gear into the air to be able to understand tornadoes better in order to give better warning. This is a tale of those brave storm chasers and how they must survive chasing multiple tornadoes.
