JOHANNESBURG - Mamelodi Sundowns wrapped up the league title a week ago but there's still a lot at stake in the Premiership as far as the chase for a top three and top eight finish and fight for survival is concerned. Second-placed AmaZulu are a win away from joining Sundowns in the CAF Champions League next season, but that will be easier said than done as Usuthu have stuttered lately after losing their last two league matches against Baroka FC and Orlando Pirates. But they'll be optimistic that they can still finish the job against Swallows and Maritzburg United. Golden Arrows are third on the standings, occupying a CAF Confederation Cup qualifying spot, but they are level on points with fourth-placed Pirates, whose aspirations of finishing in the top three took a huge knock last weekend after losing away to TS Galaxy in Nelspruit. Arrows, who'll hope that their Durban neighbours lose their last two matches, will have to ensure that they beat coach-less Kaizer Chiefs and Stellenbosch FC. After being knocked out of the Confederation Cup a fortnight ago, Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer will know that his future could depend on his team finishing in the top three this season, which is why the Sea robbers cannot afford to drop points against Baroka and Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila FC. Swallows FC, SuperSport United and Cape Town City are the three other teams who are guaranteed to play in the MTN8 competition next season, while Galaxy occupy the eighth spot. But they are not home and dry yet as ninth-placed Baroka are just two points adrift. Chiefs could still finish in the top eight, but in the simplest of permutations, they'll need to win their last two matches while hoping that Galaxy, Baroka and Celtic lose theirs. But that's no easy feat as Chiefs are coach-less after firing Gavin Hunt last week. The 56-year-old mentor was sacked by the Glamour Boys on Friday afer a string of poor results in the league left them only five points clear of the relegation/promotion play-offs spot. Arthur Zwane and Dillion Sheppard will serve as interim coaches, and the duo will know that their job is cut out for them as they'll need to ensure the team finish in a better position and progress to the final of the Champions League. Chiefs are in the semi-finals, where they will face Wydad Casablanca. After winning their last game against Chiefs, Black Leopards received a major boost in their bid to avoid automatic relegation. They remain at the foot of the standings, three points adrift of Chippa United, who occupy the relegation play-offs position. That's why Leopards will know that anything less than maximum points in their last two matches, against Cape Town City and Celtic, and their chances of avoiding the drop will be slim. Chippa United will need at least one win in their last two games in order to be guaranteed a spot in the play-offs. But should Chippa win their last two matches, they can finish as high as 11th if the teams above them, such as Chiefs, Maritzurg, Tshakhuma and Stellenbosch, lose their remaining matches tomorrow and on the final day of the season on Saturday. 12 Great Survival Movies to Watch Right Now. From persevering in the wilderness to apocalyptic thrillers—the adrenaline rush is guaranteed. Now that many of us are confined to our homes for the foreseeable future, it's likely you may have more time than ever to finally catch up on all the things you've been meaning to watch, whether you're into British period pieces or documentaries. If you're looking for a pulse-pounding distraction from our current reality–or maybe just a reminder that things could be worse–there is plenty of cinematic fodder that can lend to some escapism in extremes. From dangerous environments and apocalyptic hell-scapes, here are 12 great movies to watch about survival and endurance. This is one of the most stressful, blood pressure-raising entires on the list, not least because it’s a true story told by the real survivors. In 1985, veteran mountaineers Joe Simpson and Simon Yates set out to scale the Peruvian mountain Siula Grande–a climb no-one had ever completed before. Though they successful reached the summit, a storm turns their descent into a harrowing and near-fatal ordeal which is told here through a combination of reenactments and first-person interviews with both Simpson and Yates. Adapted from Yann Martel's award-winning 2001 novel of the same name, this ocean survival tale follows the 16-year-old Pi who survives a shipwreck, and finds himself stranded on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker–among other zoo animals. It's a seamless blend of philosophical drama and gripping adventure. James Franco's Oscar-nominated performance is the centerpiece of this gripping fictionalized take on a very real survival story. In 2003, climber Aron Ralston suffered a fall during a solo climb in Utah's Canyonlands National Park, and ended up pinned in place by a boulder which crushed his arm. As the hours stretched on, he realized his only hope of survival was to amputate his own arm. Needless to say, prepare yourself for a stressful–but ultimately inspiring–viewing experience. You may think twice about your next scuba diving getaway after watching this deeply upsetting horror movie. Loosely based on a real case from 1998, Open Water follows a couple who are stranded during a scuba expedition after their group accidentally leaves them behind. After resurfacing to find themselves alone, their surprise quickly turns to panic when they realize they're in shark-infested waters. The original space survival story. Ron Howard's classic docudrama brings to life the failed 1970 Apollo lunar mission, during which an oxygen tank exploded, damaging the spaceship and critically depleting the crew's oxygen supply. Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon and Bill Paxton star as the trio of astronauts who are forced to keep their cool and work with NASA on a series of jury-rigged solutions to patch up their craft, and get home safely against the odds. And if you thought being stranded in space inside a ship sounded stressful enough, imagine tumbling through space with no ship to return to. Alfonso Cuarón's Oscar-winning epic stars Sandra Bullock as a medical engineer whose very first space mission takes a horrifying turn after space debris destroys her shuttle, killing the rest of the crew. Following every gripping second of Stone's fight for survival, Gravity is both a groundbreaking technical accomplishment and a hell of a blockbuster. No list of survival stories would be complete without this iconic Tom Hanks-starring entry, which is both a compelling drama about human endurance, and a touching romance between a man and a volleyball. After his plane crashes in the Pacific, Hanks's everyman washes up on an uninhabited island and is forced to fend for himself for months, all alone–except for Wilson. While "post-apocalyptic" may be the very last genre you're interested in watching right now, this haunting adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel is worth the agony. Viggo Mortensen starred as the unnamed Man who's struggling to take care of his son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) in the bleak wasteland that was once America. Though hardly uplifting, The Road is a gripping exploration of endurance and paternal love. Not to be confused with either the Ben Affleck drama of the same name from last year, nor the excellent summer movie The Way Way Back. Jim Sturgess stars in this true story as Sławomir Rawicz, a former Polish prisoner of war who is imprisoned at a Siberian labor camp after being betrayed by his wife during World War II.
