Directed by Lawrence Kasdan

A special 40th anniversary screening of this classic ensemble film of the 1980s that wrestled with the idealism of the 60s and the generation that grew from it. Nominated for three Academy Awards including Best Picture!
After the shocking suicide of their friend, a group of thirty-somethings reunite for his funeral and end up spending the weekend together, reminiscing about their shared past as children of the sixties and confronting the uncertainty of their lives as adults of the eighties. Poignant and warmly humorous in equal measure, this baby boomer milestone made a star of writer-director Lawrence Kasdan and is perhaps the decade’s defining ensemble film, featuring memorable performances by Tom Berenger, Glenn Close, Jeff Goldblum, William Hurt, Kevin Kline, Mary Kay Place, Meg Tilly, and JoBeth Williams. And with its playlist of sixties rock and R&B hits, THE BIG CHILL all but invented the consummately curated soundtrack.
