     I have never seen the movie but I understand the theme of the movie is that one or both of the main characters are terminal and wish to make a list and then fulfill their last wishes by completing the list. I think that is a great idea. I have a terminal illness and the idea of making that list appeals to me.
     I will be making my list soon, but I would like to hear from y'all first. If you were told that you had a terminal illness, what is the first thing that you would like to do? What would be on your list? How many items would you have on that list? Would you visit exotic places or want to see certain landmarks? Would you take anyone with you if you went abroad or traveled around? How would you tell family and friends? Would you visit family and friends that did not live by you already? Would you take risks, knowing that you wouldn't live that much longer anyway? If you have children, what would you tell them? Would they go with you while you completed your list? What would be number 1 on your list if money were not an issue? Would you tell anyone that you are on a mission to complete your bucket list?
     Tell me everything that you could possibly think of, that would make your life complete. I really think that this is an interesting topic and I hope that all who come here and partake of this will join in the fun. I do not mean to make light of death but I also want to live what little time I have left and I am sure you do too.

I wrote out part of my bucket list here on gather, I have kept one since I was ten and always chip away at it. Right after I published it the movie came and and then everyone knew what I was talking about. Will go see if I can find it.
