The Big Chill
1983
****
Director: Lawrence Kasdan
Cast: Kevin Kline, Tom Berenger, Glenn Close, William Hurt, Meg Tilly

Old friends from college get together for their friend's funeral and discover that many a thing has changed. Along with Blade Runner this sophisticated and well acted adult drama is probably the most influential and the most copied film of the 1980s. A fine cast. Kevin Costner's cameo as the dead friend was cut out in the end.
