All I know about St. Elmo's Fire is what I've recently read on Wikipedia (and I avoided reading plot details)... but it was a Joel Schumacher film starring Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, and Mare Winningham. According to the same page, just recently (Aug 2009) ABC won a bidding war to adapt the film into a TV miniseries, although it doesn't say when it's expected to come out. The second group seems a bit more unified by their comic style, but again I don't really think of them as working together very often.
On the contrary, they do often work together (at least in pairs). In fact, Wikipedia has a table, like the brat pack table, showing the films they've collaborated on... and they list 25 films that at least 2 of the 7 of them have been in together. (For the Brat Pack, it's only 12 films that at least 2 of the 8 worked together on!). The one where the most of them were in together was Anchorman, which involved Jack Black, Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn, and Steve Carrell (all of them except Owen Wilson). The Brat Pack never had a film where all but one worked together.
