The Busket List



Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, the names speak for themselves. Both of them are cancer patients and meet in the cancer ward of Cole's (Jack Nicholson) hospital. Nothing to do but to lie on their hospital beds the whole day, they bond over poker. And soon the bad news, both of them have about 6 months to live.

After looking at Carter's (Morgan Freeman) list of things to do before death (or the Bucket List), Cole adds a few of his own things to it. He also talks Carter into doing all these things. Cole agrees to sponsor the whole idea as he is has a lot of money. Soon after discharge, they head to complete their bucket list, they skydive, zoom of racing tracking in racing cars, visit a lot of places including the Taj Mahal.

After returning, they realizes that both of them have changed a lot. Carter is a better husband. But soon, Carter passes away. At his funeral, Cole speaks a few words, first time at any funeral. Soon Cole also departs.

Movie has a little extra hint of emotion. Really good watch.
