8. Sorcerer
Director William Friedkin's 1977 action-adventure set in the Nicaraguan jungle contains one hell of a set piece captured in the rain. Sent on a mission up the jungle to deliver crates of highly unstable dynamite to help put out massive oil fires, star Roy Scheider and his team drive two trucks to their destination and tackle many obstacles on the journey. Among them is an equally unstable and dilapidated bridge overlooking a raging river below. As the only means necessary, Scheider and team must do battle with the bridge in a nasty monsoon. What entails is one of the most thrilling suspense scenes ever captured on film, with the rain only adding to the slippery thrills along the way.
