Bucket List
Some may not like it. But overall, it is well-acted and interesting if you wish to look at dying in dignity.

Saw this this weekend. Pretty good movie. Not spectacular but worth the $15 bucks we spent. I did think it would have more humor but it was pretty serious throughout.

I thought it looked ridiculous. My parents loved it though.

I also rewatched Saving Private Ryan and after looking at the ending, I guess I agree the ending isn't that good.
You have no evidence he lived a good life, so it really doesn't work that well. It could also work just at the bridge.

It's a great ending. Old man Ryan is simply a metaphor for all of us and the debt we owe to the soldiers who died.

Well I understand the debt metaphor of young Ryan looking forward, and we need to look backward, but that moment seemed a bit peculiar to me.
