Bucket List

Up

"The Bucket List" is the name of one of my favourite movies. It starts Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson as two terminally ill patients who end up sharing a hospital room. They have very different backgrounds but form a bond in which they agree to help each other fulfil their Bucket List: i.e. a list of things they want to do before they "kick the bucket".
