Decent Skydiving Movies?

Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend good skydiving documentaries? I recently watched a doco on Jeb Corliss (called Fearless) which was decent, would be good to see something similar for skydiving.

Decent Skydiving Movies?




that list is even shorter than the following list:

Movies where Keanu Reeves, Bo Derek, and John Wayne showed any acting talent.
Steps to peel an orange
Number of combustion engines in existence when Kallend was born
How many baths does a CrW dog take in a month

...
Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants

I own Cutaway and still like watching it from time to time. It's a bit cheesy, but it has a lot of real skydiving footage. It's also a little refreshing to know that both Stephen Baldwin & Tom Berenger did many of their own jumps during the filming. While very fictional, it did show a lot of real aspects of our sport: tandem funnies, student training, license, going broke, competition, DZ romance, bohemians, death, etc...along with a few commonly used one liners. The DVD director's commentary is also interesting.

Warning - thread drift...If you are interested in one of the truly worst films of all time, try the MST3K version of "The Skydivers":

I find it very entertaining to watch such a horrible movie being cut up by professionals.
People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
