Dungeon-diving and katabasis in general. Roguelikes are clutch for this reason, but it's also why I fell in love with the Elder Scrolls franchise, especially Morrowind; and why Fallout 3 was the best one โ crawling through the DC Metro. And why the World Adventures expansion to Sims 3 blew me away. Obviously Terraria, Minecraft, and Core Keeper are all favorites as well.
In literature, myths like Orpheus and Eurydice or the tale of Persephone and Demeter hold a special place. Jules Verne rocked it with Journey to the Center of the Earth but also 20,000 Leagues under the Sea. Conan Doyle is known best for Sherlock Holmes but his "The Lost World" is my favorite. And yes, I'm reading Dungeon Crawler Carl right now and it's as good as advertised.
For movies, ones based on the above books are great. The Core kinda sucked, though.
