Chewie certainly would not have looked out of place in any '76-80 line-up

[silodweller]

Love these.  Especially Jayne Mansfield...  *ho-hum*

Great film with an awesome soundtrack by Eddie Vedder.

Isn't there a well known BB song at the end?

No. It ends with Eddie Vedder's cover of Big Hot Sun.

Am I missing something?  The guy's just wearing a plaid shirt

Pendleton plaid, the Beach Boys wore them in the early days. You can buy them today and some retailers actually call them The Beach Boys Pendleton.

The retailers don't have to go far to get the phrase, as the manufacturer calls them that in their own history: 

>>Pendleton Shirts and Surf Culture
 In the early 1960s, Pendleton shirts hit the airwaves courtesy of The Majorettes, ) whose song, "White Levis" became a number one hit in 1963.

 As the lyrics said, "My boyfriend's always wearin' white Levi's... and his tennis shoes and his surfin' hat and a big plaid Pendleton shirt." Levi's and Pendleton have always paired up well, but wouldn't connect for a labeled collaboration for another 47 years.

 Soon after, a group called The Pendletones began to sing about the California surfing scene. They changed their name to the Beach Boys, but kept their uniform of Pendleton shirts worn over tee shirts with khakis. The band wore their blue and charcoal plaid shirts on the covers of 45s and LPs throughout the 1960s.

 In 2002, Pendleton brought back the Board Shirt in the same plaid, re-named The Blue Beach Boys Plaid. Because of its strong ties to surfing history and culture, this pattern was used in collaborations with Hurley and VANS in the late 2000s. The shirt is still going strong. <<

Yes, they brought back the original shirt in 2002, but it was limited.  I've checked Pendleton's website on and off over the years and have never seen it available.  So unless you go second-hand through ebay or Amazon for one purchased during that limited release, you can't get your hands on the actual BB design.  Pendleton shirts are crazy expensive.  I'd never pay that much for one of their current designs, but I'd probably pay double for one in the original Beach Boys design.

Correction : "Hard Sun".

  Ooops. Thanks.

That's what Murry called Dennis - "Hard Son"...

Oh, I'm thinking about the film "The Wild" with Reese Witherspoon.

Don't think that's it, as there's not a BBs song listed: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2305051/soundtrack?ref_=tt_trv_snd 

Perhaps you're thinking of Feel Flows over the end credits of Almost Famous? 
GOK from the closing scene of Love Actually?

The scene at the end of Reese on the bridge - I recall Wouldn't It Be Nice being played in the background unless my memory is playing tricks with me - I watched it on cable at 3 in the morning one night when I couldn't sleep.
