The opening credits are listed first for the theme music. — Bill Simmons
The first St. Elmo's bar scene is listed for its cheesy 80s music and everyone in their habitat, including Judd Nelson dunking Rob Lowe in the water. — Bill Simmons
The short first Jeep scene is listed for the iconic exchange about the three-year Georgetown Young Democrats chief working for a Republican: "Moving up, Kerbo." — Bill Simmons
The scene of Billy on the roof at the Mare Winningham character's house (transcribed 'Mayor Winningham') is listed. — Bill Simmons
Kirby's party at Kim's house and Jules and Billy in the car, ending with "You break my heart. Then again, you break everyone's heart," are listed; the car line is called devastating. — Bill Simmons
Leslie moving out of Alec's apartment and dividing the records ("No Springsteen is leaving this house") is listed, with Nelson described as completely out of control.
The vote is Billy's big sax scene, with "no other question". — Bill Simmons
Also liked: the Kevin and Leslie hookup confession ("Am I part of your props?") and Kevin and Kirby's apartment talk when Billy shows up needing a place to crash; but there is really no competition with Billy Hicks and the New Breed on Halloween night. — Chris Ryan
The band's song seems to have only the lyric "One love", leaving the band standing around during Billy's long solo. — Chris Ryan
Whether Billy is a serious musician is unclear; he fronts Billy Hicks and the New Breed but at Georgetown seemed mostly to father children and play rugby. — Chris Ryan
Schumacher's The Lost Boys also has a long sax-solo scene; Clarence Clemons (transcribed 'Clemens') and Eddie and the Cruisers are floated as the influence, and nobody ever picked a bar for its sax player. — Bill Simmons
The "Let's rock" clap-along after the solo brings joy, and Billy's estranged wife arriving with a very 80s date leads to a fight outside the bar, called a great five minutes. — Bill Simmons
Jules's fire-escape rescue and Alec hanging Kevin over the fire escape are added as scenes that probably belonged in this category. — Bill Simmons
