The other day, my brother mentioned that travelling to a particular place was on his "bucket list". It got me thinking about how weird it is that the term has become so ubiquitous despite the fact that I can't name a single person I know who has seen the movie "The Bucket List".
It has a 42 on Metacritic and was the 31st highest grossing film of 2007. Hardly anyone ever talks about the movie any more, but people talk about having things on their "bucket list" all the time, and there are even articles from major outlets mentioning them occasionally.
Are there other films like that, having a notable cultural impact without the film itself being especially significant or successful?
