What do you all think of this movie? I just watched it today for the first time. Can't quite decide if I liked it...

Never seen it actually (even though I like the Brat Pack and their other movies), but I love the theme song. Just one of those energetic pop/arena rock songs that makes you feel good. It reminds me of when I was 12 'cause that's when I first heard it (around 1994).

I thought it was a good movie, but I loved the soundtrack so much more. Both 'Love Theme From St. Elmo's Fire' by David Foster and 'St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)' by John Parr were popular.
Another song from the film, 'If I Turn You Away' by Vikki Moss was also popular in Canada. I remember it very well and I still love it!

I really liked this movie and the soundtrack very much. I watched this movie for the first time in quite a while last month.

Who is Saint Elmo and why did he make a fire?

I rented this about ten years ago. It's pretty bad. I remember, in 85, people were expecting Breakfast Club part deux. Psyche..!
The Love Theme got bookoo airplay back then and I always liked the sax in that song. Hmm, now that I think of it I actually owned the soundtrack...

'St Elmo's Fire (man in motion)' by John Parr was the best thing about that movie.
Another song from the film, 'If I Turn You Away' by Vikki Moss was also popular in Canada. I remember it very well and I still love it!
I just recently downloaded 'If I turn you away' after checking out some 80s internet websites. Great track. :)

I was working as a radio announcer when these songs came out, and all 3 songs were very popular here. In fact, I think I remember Vicki Moss was dating Wayne Gretsky around the same time. It's funny to watch the movie now, and realize that Demi Moore's husband was only 6 or 7 years old at the time. :o ;D

The movie was way too "yuppie" for me. Demi Moore's character was wayyyy obnoxious, and every other character was too stereotypical for me. Plus it was way too serious and lifeless for a brat-pack movie. Blah.
I guess the same could be said for Breakfast Club's characters, but the comedy elements of that movie made it great.

It's not a good movie...but having been in college when it came out, everyone watched it, discussed it, lived the soundtrack. it does contain some classic lines...
Alec: You're being arrested for drunk driving.
Billy: Drunk definitely, I don't know if you could call it driving.
.
Jules: Don't you enjoy anything anymore... like girls?
Kevin: I enjoy being afraid of Russia. It's a harmless fear, but it makes America feel better, Russia gets an inflated sense of national worth from our paranoia. How's that?
