Wooaah! Whatta great movie. I watched it yesterday on dvd and it really blew my mind. Better than breakfast club. The atmosphere was good and the characters are truly memorable.
For 80's movie freaks - 10/10 !  :D

migi in motion?

Where I live that song and movie were out and popular during this time of year (late August, early September) in 1985.

You couldn't turn on the radio without hearing that John Parr song. :D

:)

Listening to it right now. Great Movie and Song.

I hated that movie, it was the Big Chill's obnoxious preppie younger cousin!
:P

;D  Good call! 

It was the only "brat pack" movie I didn't like.  Demi Moore always got on my nerves back then.

Demi Moore is among the Republican Hollywood elite with
Bruce Willis
Arnold Schwarzenegger
James Woods
Jean Claude Van Damm
Bo Derek
among others.
:P

This was a good movie, but the best part was the soundtrack which had three hits ...

St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion) - John Parr
Love Theme From St. Elmo's Fire - David Foster
If I Turn You Away - Vikki Moss

I like the song St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion), more than I like the movie.

Here's some trivia for ya:  David Foster wrote that song about paraplegic athlete Rick Hansen, who was at the time on his Man in Motion tour

I liked her as Jules,she plays a cokehead very well  ;D
How can you not like her when she says in that bed voice of hers You break my heart.Then again,you break everyone's heart to Rob Lowe?

I watched that movie recently and it's great! I love it! All those hot guys in it, what's not to love?! I especially liked Andrew McCarthy. I had a crush on him when I was 11 after seeing Pretty in Pink for the first time. Then I realized how old he was then and I was like, ewww! LOL ;D But seriously, it is a good movie. I love the song (Man in Motion) St. Elmo's Fire too.

I never got that movie... I loved Demi Moore and Mare Winningham and Andi McDowell....Basically it would've been a better movie without the guys!  Breakfast Club was far supierior

it was great.  That year we ate, slept and breathed that film. I was a ....sophmore in college?  ON the soundtrack there are words to the main theme song; we sang it all the time...like a drinking song.
And we knew all the good lines (BillY? From the roof, Billy?)
boy. i miss those days.

"I thought you would find out I wasn't fabulous"
"and I thought you would find out I was irresponsible"

BEST brat pack film made

I haven't seen this in ages!
I checked the movie out when it came out on video because Andrew McCarthy was in it. I too had a crush on him in Pretty in Pink. That killer smile and those eyes!  SIGH....

Here's some trivia for ya:  David Foster wrote that song about paraplegic athlete Rick Hansen, who was at the time on his Man in Motion tour


I know....

I think that Rick Hansen even went through Thunder Bay, the city where I once lived, during the Man In Motion tour.

It was a cool moment.

A few years before, Terry Fox went on a cross country marathon, which would have went from St. John's, Newfoundland, to British Columbia.

Unfortunatly, the marathon stopped somewhere northeast of Thunder Bay, because of poor breathing problems.
He had ran for 143 consecutive days totalling 5,373 km.

Thanks. I never knew that. The only trivia I remember at the time this movie was out involved what exactly St. Elmo's Fire is.

And does anyone remember its nice instrumental love theme song by David Foster ?

Yeah. It's just simply called The Love Theme From St. Elmos Fire. Nice soothing track, but unoriginal in the name.
