Return of the Secaucus 7

Return of the Secaucus 7 is a 1980 drama film written and directed by John Sayles and starring Bruce MacDonald, Maggie Renzi, Adam LeFevre, Maggie Cousineau, Gordon Clapp, Jean Passanante, and others.[2][3] The film tells the story of seven friends who spend a weekend together in New Hampshire. The weekend is marred by the break-up of a relationship between two of the friends. This causes a ripple effect among the group and brings up old desires and problems.

The picture was thought to have inspired The Big Chill (1983), which is a more widely known film with a similar storyline.[4] However, writer-director Lawrence Kasdan has denied having seen Return of the Secaucus 7 before working on The Big Chill.[5] In 1997, the film was added to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress for its historic merits.
