KnockBack, Episode 125: St. Elmo's Fire

We recently lost American filmmaker Joel Schumacher to cancer at the age of 80. With a diverse filmography dating back to the '70s and running through to just a few years ago, it's hard to put Schumacher in a box, but it seems a lot of people wanted to memorialize him by focusing on his two maligned Batman movies instead of the great work he did. To pay him tribute, we decided to go back to his 1985 Brat Pack film St. Elmo's Fire, which he wrote and directed, and which still holds a place with '80s movie fans everywhere. So let's head to Washington DC and catch up with seven recent graduates of Georgetown University, young 20-somethings who are having a difficult time transitioning to adulthood, and an even more difficult time understanding how the dynamics between them have changed after college.

I haven't, I'll look into it. =)

Can't say I was a fan of most of his movies but his "Tigerland" is a criminally underrated masterpiece, check it out if you haven't, RIP sir.

It's a powerful thing to do!

I'm eager to watch his two Batman films again sometime soon, as it's probably been 20+ years since I watched either.

Understandable mistake.

Those wrecked cars in front of high schools was also in the south. When I was in high school in Florida 2009 we had the same display.

Berenstein bears all over again

I love Schumacher's Batman & Robin. It's a major tonal shift from where Burton left off, but his vision of Gotham is beautiful and under all the corny dialogue is a good story.

I could've sworn this was a John Hughes movie before you posted the thread.
