I'm trying to find out the name of a film. Could anyone please help me. All I remember are about 4-6 adults meeting for a reunion as they were best friends when growing up. They ae all different types of people and they start reminiscing about their childhoods. I remember a part in particular which is when they all cycle to a local river/lake and the boys in the group strip off and jump in. Then the girls take their clothes and ride off with them. I think maybe Bette Midler could be in it as one of the adults, but not 100% sure. I also remember a tree house and/or tree swing. I think the title is named after a famous sixties song like Stand By Me or I'll Be There (and I think it may be set in the sixties too.) But I have googled both those titles and nothing. So if anyone can tell me what it is, that would be great. Thank you xxx

The Big Chill? 1983 kevin kline, glen close, jobeth williams

A group of seven former college friends gather for a weekend reunion at a posh South Carolina winter house after the funeral of one of their friends...

A seminal Thirty-Something movie in which a group of old college friends who are now all grown up and hardened by the big wide world come together for the funeral of Alex, a barely glimpsed corpse (which is played by Kevin Costner as noted in the Special Features section of the DVD), who was at one time the brightest and the best of them, and yet who never managed to achieve half as much as any of the others. The friends use the occasion to reacquaint themselves with each other and to speculate as to what happened to their idealism which had been abundant when they were younger.
