Luckily, this is not the case when it comes to skydiving. Whether you have a tandem skydive planned or are trying to get over nerves and make a reservation, this list of skydiving films will definitely rev your \u201cready to skydive\u201d engine.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For years, Skydive Perris has been the go-to skydiving destination for Hollywood\u2019s top directors. In fact, Skydive Perris is the leading skydiving center in the world when it comes to providing the aircraft and skydiving-video expertise needed to make the best motion-picture skydiving scenes.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some of our favorites:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bucket List<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prior to this film, the term &#8216;bucket list&#8217; was infrequently used. But after the film&#8217;s debut, it has become colloquial. Starring movie legends Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Bucket List<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> details two cancer-ridden men from very different walks of life on the adventure of a lifetime, attempting to complete a list of things they\u2019d like to do before they die.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the movie, one of the items on Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson) and Carter Chambers\u2019 (Morgan Freemans) bucket list just happens to be skydiving. To cross this item off their list \u2014 in a highly iconic scene from this film \u2014 the unlikely pair make a tandem skydive. A little-known fact is that this scene was shot at Skydive Perris from one of our very own tailgate aircraft, a Short SC7 Skyvan.&nbsp; Ready to watch?
