The Big Chill (1983)
It is nice to see how some of the actors who we have seen through the years use to look in their younger days. This early romedy (romantic comedy) film is supported by a group of actors who went on to greater heights on their own accord - Kevin Kline, Glenn Close, William Hurt, Tom Berenger and Jeff Goldblum.4 guys and 3 girls who were childhood friends gather together for the funeral of friend who had committed suicide.
All of them compare notes of the successes, their failures and their lost dreams in this poignant tale of self discovery. They soon realise that they are all different after battling the hard knocks and cruelty of life. After the short stint at the village of the deceased, they discover that they would never find out why the friend committed suicide but they found new zest to carry on with life.
The best part of the movie is the soundtrack of many marvellous songs of the yesteryears.
Bad Moon Rising - CCR
Heard it on the grapevine - Marvin Gaye
When a man loves a woman - Percy Sledge
Wouldn't it be nice - Beach Boys
