I do. It's all about a group of extremely selfish and shallow people, but I watch it anyway, go figure. Am I waiting for some kind of different vibe from it, lol? Or, like you, is it just like that wreck I can't seem to look away from? (Glad I'm not the only one.) :-)

I've never been able to stomach it from the start to its finish

No arguments. - All good and valid points.

Seems as though Andrew McCarthy is the only one in the cast able to act his way out of a dismal terribly immature script, but the rest do photograph well for lacking any talent.

Two other reason to watch - David Foster and John Paar really know how to rise above the bargain basement cast and crew with their fine, professional, high-quality scoring.

So, when you think "Saint Elmo's Fire," better to remember the soundtrack rather than this horrible script and sociopath tantrum performances.

Not in this reality tv saturated era we currently inhabit, no. Train wrecks are a penny a dozen and occupy nearly every channel

Since I don’t watch reality TV, I guess I haven’t seen that many train wrecks.

Pretending that it's a sequel to the Breakfast Club is how I typically get through the movie.

Still a lot of people were like that in the 80s (and now) as well as at high end colleges, all future Gorden Gekkos in the making.
