Fiction Bucketlist

I've made a bucket list of all the things I would do if I lived in a completely different world. Why are movies so important in our lives?  It's because they sweep you away to a world entirely different than your own. Those of us who have fallen in love with the movies (or books) understand that a story full of fictional characters can also remind us of so much. Cherished books and movies remind us of what it means to experience falling in love for the first time, losing and gaining faith, and growing up in a world fast running out of room for childhood.
