I love the movie, St. Elmo's Fire. The acting was very good. There are a lot of nice young actors that, I think, helped them in their acting careers. You can relate to some of the characters and how they feel... Full review

Since I'm about the same age as the cast, and was 22 when the film came out in 1985, you might think that I'd itentify with these 7 characters, who have just graduated from college and act as if they in... Full review

I watched this movie after hearing all the hype about how this film was supposedly symbolic or transcendantly representative of a certain generation. As a result, I rate this as one of the most overrated movies of all time. The plot... Full review

It all seems like so much whining after a while (and I honestly enjoyed Kirby's tangential unrequited-love story the most), but when you consider that St. Elmo's Fire was that generation's American Graffiti , this is a film that deserves at least an ounce of respect. ... Full Review
