The Big Chill is a 1983 American comedy-drama film directed by Lawrence Kasdan, who also wrote and directed Body Heat and wrote the screenplays for Star Wars (Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Force Awakens) and Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark)
The film stars Tom Berenger, Glenn Close, Jeff Goldblum, William Hurt, Kevin Kline, Mary Kay Place, Meg Tilly, and JoBeth Williams. The plot focuses on a group of baby boomers who attended the University of Michigan, reuniting after 15 years when their friend Alex dies by suicide. Kevin Costner was cast as Alex, but all scenes showing his face were cut. It was filmed in Beaufort, South Carolina.
Arguably the best soundtrack ever, The Big Chill features soul, R&B, and pop-rock music from the 1960s and 1970s, including tracks by Creedence Clearwater Revival, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, the Rolling Stones, and Three Dog Night.
