The Big Chill - 6

Six college friends (Kevin Kline, Glenn Close, William Hunt, and Jeff Goldblum) are reunited by a funeral and spend a weekend at a beach house reflecting on their pasts. The dialogue surrounds the meaning of life and death (as the funeral is for someone they knew in college who committed suicide). They also talk about their lives since college and the choices they have made. In all of this they are really asking questions about happiness and what is required for them to be happy. It is an interesting film to discuss what college is for, and how it changes people later in life.
