I love the Bourne movies too, but Indiana Jones and BTTF really are GOAT family action/adventure movies, and I think rank higher than Bourne in any movie list.
really depends on the director, some like the coens shoot basically exactly what is on the page and others love to shoot what's on the page then let the actors have some takes to play around and see what they come up with but there are def tons of movies with lots of improvisation (esp comedies such as the apatow films and he's a big part of that improvisation shouting out ideas and lines to the actors etc).
I'm sure there are lots of articles online about famous improvised bits and I know there are some great ones I'm forgetting about but I'm exhausted and can't think straight.
also in regards to the holdovers payne is such a wonderful filmmaker and giamatti is a joy in every single performance.
