The Big Chill (1983)
Well made, but virtually a remake...

While The Big Chill is a good movie and is well acted fans should check out John Sayles's Return of the Secaucus Seven. The Big Chill is essentially a remake of this film that came out three years earlier. Return of the Secaucus Seven is about a group of friends who gather after many years to reminisce about their college experience together as political radicals. While not as slick and certainly lacking the star power and soundtrack of The Big Chill, Return of the Secaucus is better written and a better character study. I recommend it if you've enjoyed the later version. John Sayles is a great writer/director. Check out some of his other work including Eight Men Out, The Secret of Roan Inish, and Lone Star.
