St Elmo's Fire (1985) Ultimate Filming Locations (2024)!

Hey guys,
In this video we travel to the filming locations for the 1985 Joel Schumacher film, St. Elmo's Fire. I uncover many of the "lost" and hard-to-find locations. This has been a passion project for almost 20 years...enjoy!
Thanks for Watching and Keep Creating!

Really good video. This makes me wanna see the film. I has a severe illness 13 years ago. I was hit by a car. I suffered severe head trauma. I was hospitalized for 11 weeks.

Thanks so much this is my favorite movie all time , it resonates with me and friends. Great job gathering information. I visited the Tombs in Dc last year in July.

Awesome - thanks!

Great video. One of my fav movies from the 80s. I truly enjoyed your tour of the movie locations. Interesting about Len Bias…his mother visited my high school after his passing when I was a senior. Hadn’t heard his name in decades.

[@RetroPopPlanet]

Oh wow, I literally had just found that out before recording this segment. I wasn’t sure whether or not to include since it was so off subject.

Awesome work sir. This film has a very nostalgic place with me too. Side note, the canal is expected to be drained into 2025 due to restorations.

[@RetroPopPlanet]

Oh, cool, thanks for the canal update! I take it a lot of folks have found this video because of the new Andrew McCarthy documentary.

@@RetroPopPlanet watched it yesterday very moving as it evoked a superior of time when I was in my early teens

Budget 10 million. Box office 38 million. It did ok. Thanks for your leg work.

[@RetroPopPlanet]

I guess technically it was a hit but was definitely not on par with other like comedies of its time period. Parr...no pun intended!

[@amandeepv]

Great movie and great video always seems different in reality

[@RetroPopPlanet]

@@amandeepv thanks!

I love that period of America being from the UK “It’s morning in America” and that can do spirit.
