From the earliest daredevil jumpers to modern free-fall thrill seekers, these are the best movies about the exhilarating, high-stakes world of skydiving. In The Gypsy Moths (1969): A trio of traveling barnstorming skydivers grapple with personal crises during a small-town exhibition. Don’t overlook Fandango (1985): A group of college friends take one last reckless road trip together before facing the Vietnam War draft.
