Speaking of KC AND KK, anyone see Silverado?

No, not yet, but Lawrence Kasdan, who wrote and directed it, also wrote and directed one of my favorite movies ever, Grand Canyon, as well as Mumford, which I watched again recently and really enjoyed.
Who can name another movie that has KC and KK in it? Hint - it's sort of a trick question.

We have a winner! But you do see bits of him as he is being dressed for his funeral.

I always thought KC would have been a bit out of place in that movie, anyway. The characters were all supposed to be all college classmates, right, reunited by their friend's death. But all of the other actors seemed older than KC. And in fact (thank you, IMDb!), all of the other "classmates" were born in the late '40s, except Jeff Goldblum, 1952. Whereas KC was born in 1955.
By the way, also according to IMDb, Lawrence Kasdan has an "untitled Big Chill remake" in development. I wonder if that will come to pass. Doesn't sound like a great idea, though I would like to see a BC sequel, with the characters now 60ish.
I see that LD wrote another long-ago favorite, Body Heat. I've been curious about how I'd like that and Romancing the Stone if I watched them now.
But what if my fond memories are tarnished? Maybe sometimes it's better not to rewatch movies you once loved. What do you all think?

Movies from my past, huh?
I always watch "Grease", and "Breakfast Club" each time they come on.
