I remember seeing a movie when i was younger. It was about an old man who died and then there was a big party. I dont remember alot about it, but i do know that the adults wanted to bury him and the kids wanted to honor his last wishes and send him out to sea. The kids built a raft, put the old man on it, set it on fire, then set him out to sea. Please tell me the name of this movie. Thanks!

The movie is ROCKET GIBRALTAR with Burt Lancaster as the old man. It was made in 1988 and the plot you've described is basically what the movie is. I hope this will help. I'm a bit of a film buff.

"Rocket Gibraltar" 1988. It starred Burt Lancaster. He used to tell his grandkids that he always wanted a Viking funeral. When he dies, while he adult children are arguing over how to plan the funeral, the grandkids get together and give him what he wanted. (A Viking funeral is for a warrior or chief - they build a pyre for the body, set it aflame, then send it out to sea, where the warrior's heart lies.)

Go to www.imdb.com (the Internet movie database), and type in the name of the actor, actress, subject matter, title as close as you know it, and something will come up for you! It's not Weekend at Bernie's.

I'm pretty sure that's Ernest Goes to Hell, but don't quote me on that.
