The Bucket List
Directed by Rob Reiner

neutral · AI labelView post →apparently it said in her chart that she'd had the heart attack at the movie theater, because every nurse and doctor who came by (she said) asked if she'd been watching The Bucket List, and didn't know what to say when she told them she hadn't.
neutral · AI labelView post →bucket list was a phrase invented for the film “The Bucket List”, and nobody had ever said it before that
neutral · AI labelView post →Wait, The Bucket List was a Rob Reiner film? I should probably watch that one of these days.
neutral · AI labelView post →My wife is helping one of her hospice patients to go skydiving one last time at a very advanced age. Did I ever mention that one of her favorite movies from long before she became a social worker is The Bucket List?
neutral · AI labelView post →One weird thing that people deny is that the term "bucket list" came from the movie The Bucket List
neutral · AI labelView post →see also: people thinking the term "bucket list" predates the 2007 film The Bucket List even though we have Google text search to verify that no, it doesnt
neutral · AI labelView post →If you had The Bucket List as the next movie they would show us please come collect your prize.
neutral · AI labelView post →Morgan Freeman, "The Bucket List" with "Jack Nicholson" as a supporting actor proving Morgan Freeman's talent as an actual lead role is one of my favorite Hollywood stories of all time. Watching it again tonight. Movie cast and movie story. 💯😆 I'm at 38 min. #FilmSky #MovieSky #Movies. Had to pause.

This Is Spinal Tap 8. A Few Good Men 9. The Bucket List 10. Ghosts of Mississippi #filmsky 📽️ What are your favorites?
neutral · AI labelView post →The Bucket List. He and Morgan Freeman were great in that film.
neutral · AI labelView post →My most Mandela Effect thing is that the phrase "bucket list" was coined by the 2007 movie The Bucket List, and has not existed my whole life. This fact makes me so mad that every few months I go look it up trying to prove otherwise.
neutral · AI labelView post →I think the Punisher logo they designed for the 2004 Punisher movie that's barely remembered becoming THE Punisher logo in the hearts and minds of racists everywhere is another version of the Bucket List paradox (when a movie part has a social impact way beyond the impact of the movie as a whole)
neutral · AI labelView post →Indeed, very good movies like Misery, When Harry Met Sally, The Magic of Belle Isle, The Bucket List. But for me the most special one is Flipped. This is pure magic captured in movie. I plan to see also the Stand by Me and This Is Spinal Tap.
neutral · AI labelView post →TOMORROW: @gayfesh.com, @demonmama.com and @luxander.bsky.social reach the back half of Rob Reiner's filmography with The Bucket List, a film everyone knows but nobody's seen. Episodes are available to the public at 11am Pacific every other Tuesday, with early access for channel members!
neutral · AI labelView post →"This was almost the last Jack Nicholson performance. The last one is that James L. Brooks movie…'You Gotta Do It' or something?" -The Bucket List
neutral · AI labelView post →Rob Reiner made the Phungo Card Checklist. Don't recall why he was in Philadelphia at the time, the only film he had out in 2007 was "the Bucket List" which did not release until December. I have no recollection of this movie and it starred Jack Nicholson AND Morgan Freeman.
neutral · AI labelView post →Anyway my favorite Rob Reiner movie is The Bucket List.
positive · AI labelView post →The Shining would have claimed this spot (and is definitely a better movie overall)... but I dunno, something about The Bucket List just got me.
positive · AI labelView post →2025 is going to be the Year of the Bucket List for me. I'm going to make it a point to watch a lot of movies I haven't gotten around to and games I've been meaning to play. I'm going to need to finish Persona 5 at some point, but wondering if I should start there or on another game or movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →The late Rob Reiner shared these three priceless bits of wisdom for when getting older: “Number one, never pass up a bathroom. Number two, don’t waste a hard-on. Three, never trust a fart. Fun fact: Jack Nicholson shared those rules in Rob’s movie 'The Bucket List'.
neutral · AI labelView post →Rob Reiner about his movie The Bucket List: “...in the end, what matters isn’t skydiving or pyramids. It’s who’s holding your hand when you’re afraid.”
neutral · AI labelView post →AI makes it worse, but people always did this. I've had multiple people tell me I'm an idiot when I bring up the bit of trivia that the 2007 movie The Bucket List is what popularized the phrase. It feels counterintuitive so people reject it, but the phrase doesn't really exist before then.
neutral · AI labelView post →The one and only thing that I think could make me believe the Mandela Effect is a real thing is apparently the movie The Bucket List inspired the phrase "bucket list", and not the other way around
neutral · AI labelView post →Things got heated on Reddit when someone pointed out that the concept of a bucket list originated with the movie The Bucket List.
neutral · AI labelView post →October 1/Day 274 A Movie scene that shows a cup of coffee In Recognition of International Coffee Day #Edwards2026MovieThingChallenge “The Bucket List” (2007)
neutral · AI labelView post →on the bright side, like "The Bucket List" and "Pay It Forward", the title of "Sex Purge" will far outlast the existence of the movie itself
neutral · AI labelView post →Sort of like how the movie The Bucket List invented the term for when Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman do a bucket list.
neutral · AI labelView post →With the plausible exception of the Bucket List, rarely has a film so completely reformed our usage of a phrase.
neutral · AI labelView post →Kinda brought a tear to a glass eye that they preceded my wrestling with a Rob Reiner movie, even if it was just The Bucket List
positive · AI labelView post →I always regret The Bucket List wasn’t just a little better. It’s just trying to be a sentimental dad movie sundowner for Nicholson and Freeman and indeed was Jack’s last leading role. But just too many cornball and cheesy scenes and lines.
negative · AI labelView post →In the wake of the passing of Rob Reiner, I remind all that The Bucket List (a film he directed) is still the verified origin of that term
neutral · AI labelView post →With the tragic loss of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle on my mind, I was given a mournful opportunity to watch The Bucket List on my flight today, which I hadn’t seen yet. Movie made me cry a lot and then I cried even more after finishing the film thinking about all the tragedy this past weekend
positive · AI labelView post →Did not know until now that the concept of the bucket list started with the movie The Bucket List. Just always assumed it existed before then
neutral · AI labelView post →That movie “The Bucket List” made walnut ice cream sound like a luxury item, AND a dessert only Robert De Neiro would try
neutral · AI labelView post →The bucket list as a concept is from the Jack Nicholson film The Bucket List.
neutral · AI labelView post →Lean on Me Robin Hood Prince of Thieves Glory Shawshank Redemption An Unfinished Life/Evan Almighty Honorable Mentions: Bruce Almighty The Bucket List Kiss the Girls Sorry Se7en fans, your movie sucks. Freeman was still good in it tho. I love Morgan so much.
neutral · AI labelView post →I haven't seen The Long Walk yet, and the new Running Man isn't out (?) but this is the best Stephen King film since the criminally underrated Doctor Sleep. It's not that scary, more of an inspiring existential analysis like The Bucket List. Great acting. Watch it for the dance scene alone.
neutral · AI labelView post →The phrase "Bucket List" was invented for the movie THE BUCKET LIST (2007).
neutral · AI labelView post →Speaking of your bucket list, have you seen the movie The Bucket List? Good movie. Sometimes funny, but also thought-provoking. I know you meant 2024, but I hope your words are prophetic regarding The Orville, that 2025 was very productive for you!
positive · AI labelView post →I just finished watching the Bucket List with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. I love this movie and it routinely moves me to tears. I would love to find a friend so true!
positive · AI labelView post →Strangereal also canonically includes Italian food and now apparently the movie The Bucket List!??
neutral · AI labelView post →This is like realizing that the movie “The Bucket List” basically invented the titular term—you could find scattered uses beforehand, then the ngram just explodes in popularity
neutral · AI labelView post →My ★★★ review of The Bucket List (2007) on @letterboxd: boxd.it/eI3sCh
positive · AI labelView post →I see your point but I think it's debatable. The Purge was a successful franchise but it was never as huge as Jurassic Park, or The Truman Show, or The Bucket List. Also the original film that introduced the premise is the one nobody likes much. It definitely outgrew The Purge (2013).
neutral · AI labelView post →Is The Bucket List disqualified a “no, but close” because unlike the Truman Show, people forgot the concept didn’t exist before the movie/people have generally forgotten the movie?
neutral · AI labelView post →Never saw it, so this is how I find out that the bucket list from the movie THE BUCKET LIST isn’t a list of buckets.
neutral · AI labelView post →Moving after a long time is interesting because you go through random boxes and have questions like “why do I own a DVD copy of ‘The Bucket List’, a movie I’ve never actually watched?”
neutral · AI labelView post →"If Chris and I ever were to live on an island together, the movie we would bring is Quiz Show." (Steve) "Can we crowdfund this to get you guys out of society?" -The Bucket List
neutral · AI labelView post →I was obsessed with Stand By Me as a kid. I've always wanted to make a movie like it someday. I've never stopped thinking about The Bucket List ever since I saw it in high school. Such a beautiful film. Rob Reiner was transcendent and his movies have touched so many people, myself included. RIP

positive · AI labelView post →The term "bucket list" didn't exist until the 2007 film The Bucket List. But you can finds loads of people insisting that it's older, precisely because the concept has always been around.
neutral · AI labelView post →ik bit off topic but gotta share my fav movie mix-up story.. My sis took mum & grandma on a movie date to celebrate her first visit back since leaving home. The Bucket List was out & she'd thought it'd be a cute option-She didn't confirm the title tho, & took 'em to No Country For Old Men instead 😅
neutral · AI labelView post →Did you know that the term Bucket List didn't actually exist before the release of the movie The Bucket List in 2007?
neutral · AI labelView post →No, The Bucket List was not Wild Hogs (the middle-aged guys motorcycle movie) or Old Dogs (the other middle-aged guys motorcycle movie), nor was it any of the subsequent wave of 'old guys do exciting stuff' movies (Space Cowboys, Last Vegas, RED...).
neutral · AI labelView post →I don't know why, but I was fully under the impression Reiner hadn't made a film since The Bucket List until your thread
neutral · AI labelView post →Actually the movie is "The Bucket List."
neutral · AI labelView post →Very few of us have seen The Bucket List either. It's weird how so-so movie turns into *concepts* because we didn't have another word for a thing.
neutral · AI labelView post →Same with Jack Nicholson, whose final film was THE BUCKET LIST. I just choose to believe THE DEPARTED was his final film.
