SYNOPSIS
Seven friends, recent college graduates, are searching for a place in the real world, as they face issues of career and commitment. Leslie and Alec (Ally Sheedy and Judd Nelson) try to save a crumbling romance. Wendy (Mare Winningham), a shy virgin, hides a love for Billy (Rob Lowe), a reluctant father/husband still searching for goals. Kevin (Andrew McCarthy) is a cynical writer who scorns love until he realizes he's in love with his best friend's girl. Kirbo (Emilio Estevez), a law student, obsessively pursues an older woman. The beautiful, neurotic Jules (Demi Moore) paints a poignant picture of life in the fast lane. Against the backdrop of St. Elmo's, their local hang-out, they save, betray and love one another as only the closest of friends can.

I was wondering when this would hit 4K. I’ll stick with the Blu-Ray that was derived from the 4K scan released years ago.

Oh, great! I have seen this once but I remember I liked it a lot, especially the autumny/wintery atmosphere.
I'm glad I haven't bought the blu-ray.

Are you sure it was derived from a 4k scan of the negative?
I see it was released in 2009. I wouldn't think they did such scans back then, except for very famous/important films (eg. Ben-Hur or something).

I didn't really want to post this here, but it is the only list like it available. Many titles have since been released n 4K disc.


The earliest one I remember was Edaward Scissorhands in 2015. I bought the new BD mainly because of the artwork and price, but was blown away at how much improved the Video was over the older BD release. That was when I knew I wanted more 4K transfers.

Ok, what's up with the yellow tint on the UHD? :(:angry::blink:
I had faith in Sony!

Perhaps overcompensating for an Autumn day in Georgetown. It’s a short sequence driving around town on an Autumn Day with Fall colors we have here in America.
Well, this here (again from the UHD) conveys autumn just fine, without the yellow tint.

I'll wait to see what happens, in case they correct this. There's no way I will buy it looking like that..

Yeah, it looks like somebody fell asleep at their workstation during this driving sequence. I didn't buy this 4K/UHD, so I checked my iTunes HD digital that I purchased for $4.99 that has since upgraded to 4K/Dolby Vision. It's on that digital stream.

Does anyone know to what email can we send out complaints/concerns over this release?
Maybe if many send an email, they'll consider fixing it, I don't know..
