Michael Caine dies and his 3 friends and his son go on a road trip to deliver his ashes to a Coney Island-like boardwalk on the coast of England. The movie is made up of many flashbacks about Jack's life from the perspective of his wife, his son, his best friend, and his other two friends. It was a great film. In my book, the only tear-jerker of the weekend. And the tears aren't artificial -- you really feel for the characters.

Back to the list.
