The phrase refers to things to accomplish before one “kicks the bucket” (dies). This phrase became popular after the 2007 movie, The Bucket List, with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. It is an entertaining comedy-drama worth watching, but not an all time great film. Sorry about the arcane reference. I’m not much of a list maker myself.
This is a perfect movie to watch on a Friday night to relax and have a few laughs. There are some serious moments, and the plot isn’t especially believable, but it is great if you don’t think about it too much. Yes, it deserves to be on your movie list.
For a party, that bucket seems to be short by a bag of ice and a case of beer.
Indeed. :-)
I see you can check one off your bucket list. Carl has an excellent suggestion.
… ah, a new idiom for me: “bucket list” … Nice.

I love arcane references. You know that, ;-)!
Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman sounds good – not everything in life needs to be “all time great” .
Put it on my movies-to-watch bucket list …

I think humour doesn’t work if there aren’t serious moments, too.
And I really don’t need believable plots to be entertained ;-) – on the contrary.
