As a GenX snowboarder, I have a mandatory obligation to include this 2002 guilty pleasure on the list. Vin Diesel plays Xander Cage, an extreme athlete blackmailed by the NSA into becoming a spy in Prague. Without warning, the film suddenly drops viewers into an isolated alpine sequence filmed in Kaunertal, Austria. Trapped on a peak, Cage paratroops out of a plane with a snowboard, and barely outruns a massive avalanche.

Florence Pugh expressed her determination to perform her own stunts in Thunderbolts, specifically a dramatic jump off the second tallest building—an act she believed was vital for the film's marketing.
