80's twentysomething yuppie movies.

This might be my favourite sub genre of alltime. I've probably seen St Elmos Fire 100 times. About Last Night too. I don't know what it is about these movies, but I can't seem to get enough. James Spader built a career on this type of movie.

What are your favourites? What are some good ones to watch?

If only they were making twentysomething yuppie movies in the 1940's instead of Film Noir

Forgot that had the twin towers on the cover- did they ever re-do the cover after that thing happened?

Here's a thought that'll keep you up at night: Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland in a porno!
