Edgar Wright writes:

These two films are the only features we watched prior to writing the first draft of 'The World's End'. One is the startlingly bittersweet Gene Kelly musical reuniting war time buddies in a New York bar ten years after WWII. The latter is the baby boomer classic by Lawrence Kasdan which brings old friends together after a friend's suicide. Simon Pegg and I would joke that our new film would be like 'The Big Chill' if the dead pal was present at his own wake. Both are great, funny and sometimes dark movies.
