st elmo s fire | Year: 1985 Directed: - Joel Schumacher Actors/Actresses: - Rob Lowe - Andrew McCarthy - Demi Moore - Ally Sheedy - Judd Nelson - Emilio Estevez - Andrew McCarthy - Demi Moore Long Live The Brat-Pack Anyone who's familiar with John Hughes-type 80's movies will be pleased to see a lot of familiar faces in this movie....... Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Emilio Estevez, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, etc. The only difference is that this story involves post college-graduates instead of high school teenagers, and that this story wasn't done by John Hughes. I must say I enjoyed the movie a lot, but I didn't quite relate to a lot of the characters as I did in films like The Breakfast Club. The character Emilio Estevez plays is obsessed with Andie McDowell, and I just didn't buy the idea that someone in real life in his position would do the stupid things he does in this movie. Then of course there's Rob Lowe's character of which I can let speak for itself. The drama is good and I liked the music score a lot, but I would recommend this only as a rental. This decision still doesn't sway me from being a big Brat Pack fan though. Let's hope that many of the other famous 80's teen dramas/comedies can get a decent DVD release like St. Elmo's Fire did. Brat Pack At Their Best! I think that this movie is, hands down, one of the best movies of 1985, if not the whole 1980s. I think one of the things that make it unique is that it was directed by Joel Schumacher rather than John Hughes, who is widely known for his many teen movies of the 80s. This movie is just so artfully done that you can't help but love it. Granted, there are some parts that seem a little off. I mean, do you really think that Kirbo (Emilio Estevez) would be THAT obsessed with the woman? I thought that was a little odd but the rest of it, for the most part, was right on. I was particularly impressed with Demi Moore's character, Jules, and her "life in the fast lane", which came to a screeching halt in the end and was, ironically, the one thing bringing the group together when they were falling apart. To cut to the chase, I love this movie. It is fantastic acting, fantastic directing, and just all-around good. Corny Bad This movie is not the best, but not the worst either(that honor would have to go to Bio Dome). It's just blah. The characters are dull and the whole plot is corny in a bad way. I couldn't really feel myself identifying with any of the characters or caring what happened to them, which is one of the best parts of movies. The only good thing about this movie is the theme song by John Parr. It's an awesome song. Anyway, most of the movies with members of the Brat Pack are overrated and this one definitely fits the bill.
