I watched both The Big Chill and Grand Canyon this week by coincidence without realizing they were both directed by Lawrence Kasdan. I had seen them both way back in the day on videotape (gasp!) but it was a brand new experience to watch both of these they that the should be watched.
Needless to say, I found both movies to be terrific and very moving. I was beginning to think that maybe Lawrence Kasdan was some sort of overlooked genius (by me). So I went to the IMDB to see what else he did and I found, amongst others, Silverado and French Kiss which I remember as being kind of crappy (maybe I am wrong). These were the only other Lawrence Kasdan movies I remember seeing.
Well here is my question:
Should I keep on watching Lawrence Kasdan's movies or did I already hit upon his two highlights? If I should, what other Lawrence Kasdan movies should I try next?
I must reiterate that I really loved both the Big Chill and Grand Canyon. I was quite surprised.
