Post-collegiate angst, '80s style, is the subject of this coming-of-age ensemble piece, which traces the fortunes of a group of Georgetown grads as they enter the real world and grapple with work, infidelity, and adulthood. The most outwardly upscale member of the gang, Jules (Demi Moore), hides a plethora of emotional baggage behind a chic wardrobe, an expensive apartment, a fashionable drug habit, and lots of meaningless casual sex. Her friend Wendy (Mare Winningham) has the opposite problem; a trust-fund baby with body-image issues and little sexual experience, she's hung up on Billy (Rob Lowe), a no-good, sax-playing drunkard who can't face up to his responsibilities in the job market or at home with his wife and young child. Such open infidelity is anathema to Alex (Judd Nelson), who must maintain a sense of propriety even while engaging in compulsive womanizing; after all, the Democrat-turned-Republican's nascent political career requires the sort of picture-perfect relationship he shares with girlfriend Leslie (Ally Sheedy). That doesn't sit too well with tortured writer Kevin (Andrew McCarthy), who toils away at a newspaper job and pines away for the unattainable Leslie. Unrequited love also dogs Kirby (Emilio Estevez), a law-school student whose greatest wish is to romance classy doctor Dale Biberman (Andie MacDowell), who is, alas, way out of his league. Co-written by director Joel Schumacher and his studio intern, Carl Kurlander, St. Elmo's Fire spawned the number one pop hit "St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)," which was credited to John Parr but co-written by music producer David Foster.

Great Movie!....It was fun growing up in the 80's actually Great Movies and Music and Fun! We did not have the internet so we made our own fun! and got in trouble sometimes (kids stuff) also but that was part of the Fun! and Friends stuck together like real friends should when your growing up because we did everything together Trust me for kids and even adults the 80's were way better than it is today! .... ; )
Unfortunately I was born in the late '80s ('86) and barely remember them though I loved being a kid in the '90s, I think it would've been fun to grow up as a kid/teen in the '80s. It was fun listening to and watching '80s films and music as a teen and yeah I totally got this movie for Rob Lowe lol but I enjoyed everyone else too especially the actors who were in the breakfast club. For the girls (including teen girls) that watch this movie, especially for Rob, enjoy and enjoy watching Rob lol!
