The Bucket List

The Bucket List, released in 2007, was directed by Rob Reiner. The movie stars Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, both who play characters who are terminally ill and both given little time to live. Knowing that they are terminally ill, they decide to make a "Bucket List", a list of all the things they hope to do in their lives before they die, and together, they set out to accomplish everything on the list. The movie's full of adventure but catches the hearts of many as it sets out to teach a lesson about appreciation for life and all it has to offer. I hope you enjoy this movie.

Tim Robbins plays a Banker named Andy Dufresne who was wrongly convicted  for the death of his wife. In jail he meets a man named Red (Morgan Freeman). Red and Andy spend the years together because Andy has a life sentence and Red never makes parole. Since Andy was a banker the warden hires him to start cooking the books for him. The years pass on and finally Red makes parole, but Andy is still locked up. The movie has a a huge twist to end it but that's for you to watch.
