The Bar in St. Elmo's Fire

Movie: St. Elmo's Fire Location: The Third Edition Scene: Thirds only was used in exterior shots for the film. To quote the old Hollywood adage, "there are no small parts!" The Deets: While Thirds made it to the big screen, the actual inspiration for the bar was The Tombs right up the street (and spitting distance away from The Exorcist steps). The campus seen in the film actually is the University of Maryland at College Park. [image via]
