St. Elmo's Fire (1985)

dir. Joel Schumacher

Wisconsin Avenue at Prospect Street NW, Washington, DC

Georgetown Theatre (now closed), 1351 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Washington, DC

St. Elmo's bar – This was filmed on a studio backlot. Contrary to popular belief, this is not Third Edition which looks very different and appears in the film twice.

Many thanks to JonathanB-TN for this information.
