Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

A collective vanity piece for the so-called Brat Pack of the 1980s, this coming-of-age movie--written and directed by Joel Schumacher (A Time to Kill)--is a largely unbelievable ensemble piece about college grads having trouble getting a lift-off into adulthood. As in John Hughes's Breakfast Club--which has a lot of casting overlap with this film--each actor plays a rather narrow type with problems common to his or her classification. Some (as with Rob Lowe's seemingly doomstruck character) are more absurd than others. But absurdity isn't the issue in this movie; a general sense of indulgence is. Schumacher not only presumes an undeserved mystique about this cast, but he also exploits it and comes up empty. --Tom Keogh


Synopsis

The story of a tightly-knit group of college graduates who must now confront, as individuals, all the issues of life after college in the 1980s. They must make tough decisions regarding their careers and relationships that will shape a lifetime and cause conflicts within their friendships.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic brat-pack film with a timless storyline, 14 April 2005
By Mr. Naveed H. Siddiqui (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: St. Elmo's Fire [DVD] [1985] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
Though it was made in the 80s and certainly captures very well the mood and feel of that era it nonetheless highlights the strains and stresses of being young in the modern world. The decisions we have to make, the choices that overwhelm us, and of course the way we change and grow as our lives take shape. A classic brat-pack film with a ageless storyline. A DVD certainly worth adding to your collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars A nostalgic trip back to the 80:s with the brath-pack., 12 Aug 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: St Elmo's Fire [DVD] [1985] (DVD)
A great movie. College-graduates struggling with their dreams for the future. The story in many ways deals with the problem of holding on the friends of your youth as you grow up and take on different interests and paths in life. It's a nostaligic trip back to the 80:s for many of us that were young then. Rob Lowe and Demi Moore makes this a great movie. A cult-classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic then, a classic now. St Elmo's Fire., 6 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: St Elmo's Fire [DVD] [1985] (DVD)
St Elmo's Fire captured a vibrant moment in the 1980's, but the characters and their problems still resonate with the 'young and confused' of today.

If you want to see a classic film about spreading your wings in the big wide world then this is it.

St Elmo's fire brings together the best collection of young actors from a generation of talent.

Judd Nelson (Breakfast Club, 1985) Andrew McCarthy (Class, 1984), Rob Lowe (Class, 1984),
Ally Sheedy (Breakfast Club, 1985), Emilio Estevez, Demi Moore, Mare Winningham, Andie Macdowell.

Directed by Joel Schumacher, a very enlightened guy and a great film brain. Watch out for the added commentary on the DVD, it's a really great insight into how the film was made and it's continuing timeless success from 1985 to today.

Mart Owen.
