St Elmo's Fire [DVD] (1985) [2010]

nothing to dislike

A follow up the “Class” set during the same university period. That tackles the issues of drug addiction and teenage behaviour issues in America

Film was rubbish. Waited 40 odd years to see this. Disappointed

As a long-time fan of the 80s bratpack, this has always been one of my favourite movies from that time. It features a host of the bratpackers at their peak - Judd Nelson, Rob Lowe, Andy McCarthy, Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy etc. It's such a shame that this is often overlooked in favour of the John Hughes movies. Whilst they're great too, St Elmo's Fire is every bit as good.Now I already had this movie on DVD and really wasn't sure whether or not to 'upgrade' to the Blu Ray version. I've purchased enough Blu Rays of 80s and 90s movies to know that they tend to go one of two ways - very good transfers, or p1ss-poor/lazy upscale jobs. Finally taking the gamble and purchasing the Blu Ray I have to say it's well worth the upgrade, it's a very good transfer. It's not quite an 'Italian Job' or 'Zulu', but it's certainly better than average. If Zulu and The Italian Job are 10/10s then I'd score the St Elmo's Fire Blu Ray as a 9/10 on picture quality. Colours are vibrant, detail is fine, there was no noticeable noise or artifacting. Audio, you get a 5.1 TrueHD track, which given the great soundtrack this movie has, is very welcome.Extras-wise, you get (in SD) a commentary by Joel Schumacher, a separate JS retrospective interview, deleted scenes, and the John Parr 'Man in Motion' music video.All in all - if you're a fan of this movie then this is the best possible version. If you already have it on DVD, is it worth the upgrade? In my opinion, yes. I picked this up for less than a tenner, well worth it.

I enjoyed this, it's really good and worth watching, some great characters and stories lines.

Beautifull movie.

A story of growing up, friendship, love, hatred, the consequences of our choices and the things that bond us. St Elmo's Fire is, in my opinion, a brilliant film that many could learn from or at the very least parallel thier own experiences. It's got a great 80's cast (Demi Moore, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez), is both moving and funny and quite frankly I could watch it over and over again!

Classic 80s

I love the movie. Those in the movie have turned into stars. It was soooo well written and the music's fabulous.

Film generazionale degli anni 80' diventato iconico. Non può mancare nella vostra collezione, specie a questo prezzo. Consigliato

Buena película clásica de actores jóvenes. Si te gustó el club de los cinco. Está muy bien.

Pedí la pelicula importada, y la verdad no hubo ningún contratiempo ni detalles con el envío. Se tardo su tiempo, pero llego en excelentes condiciones.En cuanto a la película, bueno, es excelente. Muy recomendada.

One of my all time favourite movies 🥰 loved watching it again and great quality
