The Big Chill

It seems that the theme of this movie is so over played these days.
Amazon must have 50 or so movies like this.

The original was okay. But enough already.

I blame Homer for all those historical epics and sword and sandal movies.

I never had much of a chance to watch TV. I have recently and I do like Netflix. I have no issue with foreign movies but there are so many Euro movies on Flix. It would be a ok but the plots and actors/actresses just aren NOT up to speed with American movies. WHY??? I don't get it. I could see 30 years ago, but in this age? Kinda weird to me.

Agree, way overplayed.

The Big Chill was released in '83 or '84. I remember watching it in a hotel room with a slew of coworkers while out of town.

It's a look at the friends of a suicide. They talk about themselves much more than the deceased. The ending was monumentally weak in that notice of an unaccepted scholarship equaled a de facto "...Oh, he never got his life together", moment.
Yet another good movie with a quick "get out" (The Departed, anyone?).
The Big Chill was all about the soundtrack.

Amazon has 50 movies like this?

I have observed the same thing. My wife will be excited for us to watch something on Netflix. I ask if it is in English or dubbed from another language, she doesn't know. Well more than half the time it is a foreign production that is dubbed. Off she goes and on to something else.

My belief is that it is a matter of dollars and cents. It is a ton cheaper to create a movie or series in a foreign land with local actors speaking in their native language.

Totally agree...
Watching a snore Euro bore now
Horrible acting.

Yes there is.
I no longer remember the titles.
Same old nonsense.
