re: St. Elmo's Fire

While I have always loved it, I admit my opinion is very subjective based on my age and place when I saw it, being a kid of the 80s. I think in context a lot of the random goofiness isn't as bad. The storyline suffered in many aspects probably because it was meant to be character driven.

Biggest flaw: more backstory on the group and their bonds would have made the viewer more invested and involved.
