I have watched The Big Chill so many times that I can recite the dialog right along with the characters, but I still love it every time I watch it - it is one of the most enjoyable movies of all time - the characters are played by a Phenomenal ensemble cast that is responsible for many of my favorite movies, they are wonderful -the music is top notch, as Harold said it was from a tim... read more

Both playful and thoughtful, the film represents Kasdan (Body Heat) at his most as ... (more)

Films and the critics who hate them (732 movies items)

"There is no place for depth or nuance in this slickly engineered complacency machine. - Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader It has all the right moves. It knows all the right words. Its characters have all the right clothes, expressions, fears, lusts and ambitions. But there's no payoff and it doesn't lead anywhere. - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times"

My Favorite 175 Films From The 80's, y'all. (175 movies items)

"A bunch of baby boomers reunite when of their own takes his own life. A reunion that sparks off the realization that the dreams & ambitions of their youth may also have died. While The Big Chill never became the darling to me that it has to many cinema critics (particularly at the time of it's release) I do enjoy that the film carries the smartness & observations of the story in a manner that doesn't seem to age as time goes by. The characters each come to the conclusions that, no matter what ag"

Top 10: Jeff Goldblum (19 movies items)

" A funeral for a mutual friend reunites a group of college friends who have gone on from their youth to sacrifice ideals for the sake of life, profession and material gain. They reconnect here and there are many wonderful moments of remembrance and reawakening of feelings, thoughts and dreams. A wonderful cast of actors all delivering fine performances combined with a great script of dialogue and backed by an awesome soundtrack made for a classic here in it's own right. Goldblum stars here wi"
